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

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.

If there was a hole in the bottom of the canister, I would not use the product and return it to the doctor's office. Ask to check other canisters, maybe it's a flaw in the design.

So far mine have not done that, however, the unit does seem a little flimsy and it is sealed, so I really don't see how it could be repaired. They'd have to replace the whole unit I think. I love the way they work; however if these break I don't think I'll buy another set unless they improve the overall quality.

I haven't had a problem with their chipping but then I don't stack them in the cabinet either. They have a good feel of stability about them and I've appreciated the three different sizes (weights). I'm older and the largest full of beverage is too heavy for me to handle comfortably. Hope this helps! I think you'll like them.

I pretty much agree with all of the comments below. However, one of my cannisters had a chip in the red paint. It looked like they tried to put the little piece back on and then glazed over it. I had already unpacked the cannisters so I decided not to try to return them. Also the red paint is a little streaky on the body of the cannisters. Probably should have returned them, but it was too much trouble.

I agree with two previous responses. I am very happy with all three of the canisters!

Thanks! It probably is a design flaw, then.I've attempted to contact Krups and just received a generic reply to ship it to a service center. Too much of a hassle to do that or try to return it for another (not even sure where my receipt is at this point).It's more of a nuisance, not knowing that the thing is almost empty--especially when entertaining guests! Otherwise, it's great! Guess we'll just have to be sure to have a spare keg on hand at all times :)

It was a Christmas gift. We have used it three times. One canister to one can would close. I do know exactly what's in the canister, add my own flavors. That's the deal maker.

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.

I too have not had an issue, I was nervous with the reviews but I even cook on them (burger or so) I really like them, they are very heavy and seem durable to me. Ive had mine since last Christmas.

Two of my four canisters had a good seal. The other two had good seal bands, but the lids were not tight so I bought a bag of wide-band rubber bands (containing various sizes) and placed two of the rubber bands underneath the seals for a tighter grip. It works like a charm, and the set is absolutely beautiful!

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

you can't really do anything wrong since it just takes screwing in. its either the canister is bad or the store itself I would suggest getting another canister and see if it's doing the same thing

I have not had any problems. It has been a wonderful set. I would get it again. Judith Murr

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 have not had any crazing on my set. But I bought extra pieces PASTA bowels and they were not sealed correctly and are a complete different color almost TAN. I did contact Mikasa over this and they offered no solution.
