Summary: 1 Stars
They arrived nearly a week late, and these are just not what was advertised. Oh, they're stainless steel canisters, all right, but as a previous poster said: not airtight in the slightest. I wouldn't have minded a tight fit---I didn't need absolutely airtight---but frankly, the manufacturing quality is pretty weak. Many of the lids just sit on top and rattle slightly. The manufacturing tolerances are such that the lids aren't interchangeable--you have to experiment to see what lids work best with what canisters, and after trying all the lids with each of the canisters (and I bought four sets!), I still have one lid that won't even fit into the top of any canister, and one lid that noticably slides back and forth no matter which canister it's in. I should note that two of the sets didn't even come with the 1.5-quart size; they had two of the 2-quart size, which was fine with me, but also speaks to the quality of the manufacturer.
I should also note that the padded washers that they sent along with the screw-on knobs are quite small; you'll want to be careful screwing the knobs to the lids, because of the increased chance of breakage.
I'd return them, but Bealls says that I would be responsible for all the shipping (in spite of the misleading description of the product), and I wouldn't see my money back for a couple of months.
I am really quite disappointed. These aren't really suitable for kitchen use as a result; I suppose eventually they'll wind up in my workshop.
