I bought this dispenser for our grandson who is entering his Freshman year in college next week.  He received it and couldn't wait until he got to his dorm room to try it out.  He is a big cereal eater and put his cereal at home in the dispenser and loves it!!!   He mentioned to me (quite likely a hint) that another one would be great for their little kitchenette in their dorm room to keep snacks in.  I'm sure I will be ordering another one soon.   I'm tagging along with our daughter to take him to move into his dorm this weekend and I'm sure I'll be placing an order for another one for him next week.  I haven't seen it yet and want to see it before I do because I'm thinking of ordering one for his grandmother and grandfather at home.   

Pros: Very useful for his cereal and snacks, he said it was a snap to put together and he is looking forward to using it for a long time.
Cons: My grandson said there are no cons on this item.
