This was exactly what I wanted
So,I have been trying to find a canister set that would replace the 70-year-old 4 can steel set we inherited from another family member. It was rusty and dilapidated 5 years ago and I just could not find one with a flower canister big enough to hold a standard 5 lb bag of flour. I know you can also get it in 10 lb bags but you will have to buy two of these or find it on your own to fit 10 lbs. After finding this one and reading the reviews I was discouraged but took a shot anyway.First off one review said the gasket falls off all the time. I think theirs was not seated properly or the design changed after the purchase. This seal goes under a lip in the lid and stays there. It can be removed if you had to and may be a little difficult to put back but after a few minutes you should have it back on. You can feel the lip/groove in the plastic lid with your fingernail, but it is hard to see.I did math calculations to determine the VOLUME of each of my old cans and then converted the cubic inches to fluid ounces. I have a calculator for this conversion, so it was quick.I then took the dimensions for this can (by the way are 7 3/4 diameter by 6 3/4 high) this measurement is for the SS part of the can (the part that holds the flour). It does not include the lid or the hinges or catch that may be causing the many varied dimensions I have seen in reviews. I converted these to fluid oz so I could compare mine to this new can. This can was 1/2 cup larger. Bingo.I then took the dimensions of the OGGI cans I purchased in a four can set and did the same comparisons to my other three cans. The tall can was large enough to replace my sugar can and will hold 4 lbs of granulated sugar. The next size down was enough to hold 2 lbs of brown sugar still in the plastic bag to reduce oxidation of the SS from direct contact with molasses saturated sugar. And the next size down I use for tea bags or cocoa or baking soda or whatever. The smallest of the four will be put to use in the garage.Purchase of the four can set and the large can on its own was almost exactly the same price as the large can and two of the cans offered in the four can set if purchase separately. OGGI should put together a four can set with the large can and leave the smallest can out.As far as the cans being flimsy, I think they are well made, and the hinges and latch are strong enough to do the job intended. I have a metalworking and industrial purchasing background and feel qualified to this opinion.I also understand SS will corrode if put in the proper environment for such, so try to avoid this.One thing that is not a big deal is if the 4 1/2" cans nested together better in the lid to bottom of the can it would be nicer.Hope this helps.

Great for cat food
I bought this for storing cat food because two of our three cats are little monsters and rip open the bags for fun. The canister is big enough to fit almost an entire 7lb bag of food in it and keeps it fresh for our third cat (who is both picky and has her own food). Transparent lid is bad if you're a cat looking to get into mischief, but great if you're their mom watching them try to figure out how to get into it.Quality is so-so, but the barrel is made of metal and the lid latches securely and it's small and sleek enough not to be an eyesore wherever it's intended to go, so it's five stars from me! My only complaint is that I wish it came in a slightly taller size so I could fit all of her food in it at once.

Love this brand
I am slowly replacing my 40+ year old Tupperware (probably toxic) with safer alternatives. I have bought many of this particular product in a variety of sizes. I have 2 sets of the variety pack as well as the canisters that are labeled sugar and flour. I also have 3 of the large size that have no labels. So if it isn’t obvious, then I will just say that I really like this product.These canisters are quite reasonably priced and pretty well made. I have had no issues with the lid lining up on any of the canisters.I thoroughly washed each canister prior to use. That is just common sense in my book but if you are a person who just immediately uses something that you have purchased you should wash these prior to use because they do come with a residual of the polish that is used in production. It has a rather pungent smell but washes off with soap and water.The large size easily holds a 3lb bag of coffee or a 5lb bag of flour.

Good container
Its a nice container, looks good, but feels a little cheap. It is bigger around than I expected and barely fits into my cabinet. I had to move stuff to make room. I've had to readjust the gasket a couple times and am worried that eventually it won't seal right. The latch is kind of cheap and may break after a while, but since I am not handling it roughly I'm not too worried. I'd say the price is fair for what I got.I bought it for storing coffee (whole beans). It holds a 26 oz. can of whole beans with plenty of room to spare, but isn't big enough for 2 cans. The beans do stay fresher than when I stored them in the can they came in from the store. They don't dry out. I just wish they made one sized between this one and the next smaller one.

Nice deep container
I was going to send this back, I decided to keep it for my tea bags and I'm glad.

Horrible quality and not quality stainless steel.
Thought this was great until it RUSTED!!!! Unbelievable and poor quality. This cannot be stainless steel. I stored flour in this to be airtight and suddenly saw reddish specks a week later. I thought I contaminated the flour with sauce or something so I scooped that part out. Then at the bottom I see this (see photo).

Silicone gasket problem
Having trouble keeping silicone gasket in place, will probably have to attached it with glue. Otherwise nice product.
