From the reviews it is apparent this Canister Set is visually very pleasing. But, the problems w/ 'chips' & faulty seals,have they been addressed?

I don't lift my canisters. I remove the contents from the canister while the canister is in its place, therefore I have not experienced any chips. I don't let them touch up against each other. As far as the rubber seals are concerned, from day one, my yellow canisters seal, would never stay on. The set is appealing to the eye, but the quality is of a very light weight pottery not painted other than than the outsides. They are also on a smaller scale. I would have expected they would have been of a better quality. I don't advise anyone to handle them.

When they were sent to me two were chipped. I took a picture sent by email and they mailed replacements to me with no problem. I haven't tried to order any since. I have chipped another one since but because the design is on both sides of the canister I simply turned it around and the chip doesn't show.

Only one seal was loose but it was reattached and has not been a problem. There were no flaws or chips in the canisters. We really love them.

I don't know how representative the piece I bought was, but mine came with dents and chips in it. I had to return the one I purchased because it was too dinged up to be used. I don't know if the surface itself is prone to chipping, but of course when the metal underneath is seriously dented, the surface coating will fall off! I recall years ago my parents had something that looked much the same, and it was tough & durable, so I was surprised by what I got. Hopefully mine was just a "one off" experience, but the thin and weak metal made me think that other people will also have bad luck.

Nope. They are really beautifully hand painted/glazed. Have mind about 1 1/2 years now, and never had any problems.

Hi Robert, I love the product, but I'm sorry to say that they tend to fail. I told the Doctor who makes them about this problem. I've bought about six of them because of the leakage problem (and I don't abuse them). Still worth the price, since they're so helpful, but sooner or later, they're going to collapse.

I haven't had that problem with mine, maybe just make sure the plastic seal on covers are secure

I have had mine for years and never had a problem. Sounds like to me, you have a broken seal. It's getting wet inside. Sorry.

I noticed a couple of the tops were not sealed correctly, but I used mine indoors so it was not an issue.

The canisters are completely finished with a high liqueur shine, what you see is what you get. The wife wipes hers on occasion just to keep them shiney shiney but that's a woman thing. The only problem we had with them is the air tight seal on the sugar canister (2nd biggest) was installed improperly and really needed to be replaced but I straightened it up the best I could and it seals air tight and it actually looks good, if I do say so myself. You won't go wrong buying these there great and look great. I also purchased my wife all the copper I could, salt & pepper shaker, cookie jar and kitchen tool canister etc. They all look great. Hope this helps. The canisters are completely finished with a high liqueur shine, what you see is what you get.

No, there is no seal on the canisters. They are very pretty but probably not practical as "real" canisters because there is no seal to keep the contents fresh.

Yes, I noticed this problem on my set too. I took a couple of pictures and posted them so we can be sure we talk about the same problem.

If the contents appear to have been spilled out or rummaged through; or if any of their packages are broken, I would definitely return it. If all seems perfect EXCEPT the broken seal, I might keep it. But if you have any reservations, just return it through Amazon's very easy, efficient & quick automated return system.

YES ! The lids have an excellent seal ; BUT one of our containers came with a bad seal. Evidently at the factory the seal was not installed properly and was in a position to only seal about 60 percent of the lid. I could not find away or anyone who would take back the individual canister and replace it. They wanted the whole set ( once I found someone to commit to customer satisfaction ) so I just fixed it myself. No big deal. I would highly recommend this product, they do seal and are great to look at.

This has been a problem reported by other reviewers and I also have had the problem when I over tightened something inside while cleaning. I had the grinder fixed. Since then, the grind has been very even. You can read the comments section of my review to learn the whole story.

I have no knowledge about the lids other than to say you can most assuredly obtain a new one and most likely at cost in the event there has been an ongoing problem with that particular part. I personally have not had a problem with mine.

Yes. I haven't encountered any issues. These are top notch disc's. I've used them in several PC's including my older MacPro and G5 desktops. I don't have a MacBook. I haven't had any bad disc's as of yet. I still have over half of the 200 I purchased... but I think I would've had at least one go by now if the QC was lousy. Remember that the best name disc's can have bad runs, and vis versa. IMO we are at the mercy of luck in many cases. All you can do is find a "currently" high rated product, and get it fast before they rest on their laurels! I hope I didn't get too off subject for you here? But I like these discs!

I don't have any issues at all. I like that they seal airtight. I put the lids in the dishwasher on the top shelf. I don't know what the company says, but it's been fine for us.

I have just checked a new unopened canister and it seems to have settled. I turned it over a couple of times to unsettle it and the container appears fuller. I generally do this a couple of times between uses.
