I received the second set of these canisters, after having returned the first.  Had the same problems again.  The lids were scratched in several places, and 2 of the 4 lids were very poorly painted.  Half of one lid had a glossy painted finish, and the other half was a dull, matte, finish.  The red paint on the lids' knobs did not match.  It is a shame, because these could be a wonderful addition to my kitchen.  They really are adorable, but the quality control is just not there.
