Ok, I really wanted to love this set. For the most part it is aesthetically pleasing except for the crooked topper on the smallest canister. The set is definitely a "show" rather than "functional". The seal is not air tight on any of the canisters. 

I am keeping the set because it looks great in my kitchen but, I will only keep prepackaged products in them (def. not your usual canister items, i.e., coffee, sugar, flour, etc,).
