Review on Grinder Pepper Inverted Design Beech Blues by Rickey Ortega

I love the look and they work quite well. However, due to the divided base, they are difficult to fill, especially with peppercorns. Peppercorns rolled through my kitchen. The size selection above doesn't seem to make much of a difference either, but I can live with that. The biggest problem is that after the first wash (hand wash with clear liquid soap and white tea towel) huge red stains remain. Stains showing through in several places on a gray grinder. It looks like the grinder is red under the gray outer layer and the gray plastic is wearing away. Totally unacceptable for the price. I am so disappointed and don't want to display them in my kitchen anymore.
