Maybe suitable for a single person, a couple or a family of 3 or 4 but definitely not for me.

I was excited when they arrived. Unfortunately, my excitement turned into what the hell! They are very thin and not enough to store groceries for my family. Definitely nice to look at, but also definitely not big and wide storage areas for this household. As I opened the box to look at it, I imagined what kind of food I could store in it. Only to find they can't store that much. The split image of the rice shows that both containers are filled with the same amount of rice. Round is Oxo and Black is Royal Air. I poured rice into Royal Air after taking a picture with him in Oxo. Royal Air is one of the largest in the set. Not enough to store anything except maybe sugar or small candies. If you look at another picture there is almost 3 pounds of cheese in the round vault, oxo. It is about 5 square meters. There's about 1 1/2 pounds of noodles in royal air with some extra left that doesn't fit. I could have just left the noodles in their regular packaging because then I would have to keep refilling them. I use 2 packs of 16oz so cook twice as much and keep enough for at least 3-4 more preps. The Royal Air Container is also one of the largest in the set. The smaller royal air tanks don't hold much either. I was only able to store melted chocolate, about a pound per bag, about 25% of which didn't fit. If I put them in a royal air canister, it would be too big for the entire melting bag. Well you might think there would be scratches or marks on the outside, on the containers or on the lids. . However, as you can see from the last picture, the inside of the lid is scratched. It's on some covers. A plus. Some lids don't close very tightly. I can actually remove the lid simply by grabbing the edges and pulling lightly, with or without anything in the container. So if you don't have kids and don't cook much, these containers are generally really good for sugar. And maybe nuts and sweets. Definitely not enough cookies, except maybe mini version cookies. You can probably fit 2 packs of regular spaghetti into a tall, skinny container, one of the largest containers in the set. But even that is not enough to save even that if you have more than 4 people in the family. Maybe even 3. Definitely not good for storing flour if you use it a lot. We are a family of 2 with 2 independent children, 2 teenagers, middle school and high school, and a 7 year old in elementary school. I'm writing this review on my phone so sorry if that's wrong.
