MITBAK Salt and Pepper Shakers (2-Pc. Set) Elegant w/Clear Glass Bottom | Compact Cooking, Kitchen and Dining Room Use | Classic, Refillable Design (Red)

well made product

I compared these to my $16.99 salt and pepper shakers and they are no better. These go back even if I have to pay.

Perhaps the mistake is mine, but I thought these were enamel-coated steel and glass. They're not. The only bit of steel on these is the thin line separating the top and the bottom portions and the part with the holes. They're plastic and they look very cheap. Also, the plastic is poorly cut and machined and has sharp bits that stick out. I think I even cut myself on one!The seller offered to send me a different model - for free - when I contacted them. The other model also looked cheap and we decided we'd rather just return these and get a different set for around the same price. (We chose the 'Houseables Salt and Pepper Shakers' because they're stainless steel and glass and come with a carry tray/stand.) So, while I appreciate the seller's offer, I don't think this item is worth the money. I don't think I would have paid more than $5 for them if I'd know they were mostly plastic, and even then, I would have done so begrudgingly because even dollar store salt/pepper shakers are glass/metal. These just fall short on multiple levels.

From the attached picture, on the left is what I ordered, on the right as what I received today. It’s not exactly what I wanted, but I’m thinking maybe the stainless steel is better. I’m not a huge fan of stainless steel, but at least there’s no danger of the top not matching the bottom color wise.

These may be really pretty to look at, but they are completely nonfunctional. The holes in the top are way too big, so they always end up dumping way too much salt and pepper all over your food. If anyone tips one over on the table, it’s a huge mess to clean up. I have also found that the lids leak salt and pepper where they are screwed on. I wish I could return these, only have had them about one month, but unfortunately I have barely missed the return window. I will have to look for a replacement anyhow as these just will not work.
