My wife ordered these for our new kitchen and it was exactly what we were in the market for.  Appreciated the other reviews that helped us make our decision.  As stated in some of the other reviews, the red color is not as bright as in the picture. In real life it is a bit darker and warmer...but not a maroon. It's beautiful.  As for the silicone rings, they seal very nicely.  Have owned for 1 year and they still look and function as good as new.  Also purchased the "Tool Jar" and "Spoon Rest".  Highly recommend all three!
