Review on Set of 5 Square Glass Kitchen Canisters with Airtight Bamboo Lid, Marker & Labels | Ideal for Pantry Organization, Coffee, Flour, Sugar, Pasta, Candy, Snacks & More | Glass Storage Jars for Bathroom by Jacki Reichmann

Revainrating 5 out of 5

All my thoughts, from purchase to use and repurchase.

Why I Bought Them: The shape of these containers is perfect for cabinets or just for the counter. Square options save space and leave no space unused. How I Use Them: I leave mine on the counter because they fold very neatly and fit together well. I store dry ingredients like rice, barley, oats, chili peppers, lentils or pasta etc. I wouldn't say they're airtight, but airtight enough to keep out insects, which are plentiful in dry foods. To make sure it's really airtight I put a layer of plastic wrap over it, wider than the hole so it can stretch down when the lid is put on. It's much easier to store them in clip-top bags and then in zip-top bags. No mess, no cleanliness. If you want it to look instagramable I think you can put chips, cookies and candy in it. The taller the bin, the harder it is to clean if you don't have the tools to do it. So if you add something sticky, be aware of the possible cleanup you need to do first and take care of it. :) You can put out popcorn or other snacks when the guests arrive. Actually it would look very nice. You can place a 1/2-cup measuring cup or the plastic rice cup that comes with some rice containers. Delivery: Containers were shipped in a VERY strong box. Thicker and stiffer than the regular box you get from Amazon. They were also triple bagged and bubble wrapped in the third box to protect the containers from breakage. Just by looking after the packaging, I could tell there was a good chance I would like these containers. The product itself: After unpacking, glass already feels fragile to the touch. They were very light, but after I cleaned them and filled the containers with haberdashery, they felt dense and durable. They arrived clean with no noticeable prints or markings. When held up to the light it shows fingerprints (probably some mine) but overall very clean. The product came with a good mark and I appreciate that the seller cares about their products and their customers. Probability of recommendation: Very likely and highly recommended. I'm actually buying my second and/or third set after finishing this review. But I also recommend buying 1 set first to see if you like the product. Use it for a week or two and then decide if you want more benefit. For example one set for your guest coffee table filled with goodies, then one set for the kitchen counter and then multiple sets to organize your closet/pantry. I hope this review helps you and you enjoy the product as much as I do.
