Follow up (months later): I just wanted to update our previous review. We are still very happy with the salt and pepper shakers. They work great and look nice. What prompts me to add this is the GREAT FOLLOW-UP SERVICE we received from the Amazon vendor (MB Lifestyle). We dropped one of our shakers onto a cast iron grill and broke the glass part of the shaker. Totally our fault - any glass shaker would likely have broken under the circumstances (these are actually made of pretty thick glass). Anyway, I emailed the vendor to see if we could purchase a replacement glass container, and to my surprise, they offered to send us a replacement glass container, plus an additional complete shaker, at no cost to us. This was really well beyond what we expected - we would have been happy just to have been able to purchase a replacement for the part we broke (the rest of the shaker was still good as new). We received the free replacements quickly. The replacement glass was just like the original, and the extra shaker is handy and gives us a backup in case we break another one (which is very unlikely). Anyway, I just wanted to let potential purchasers know that that not only is this a good product, but the people at MB Lifestyle really care about their customers and provide outstanding service.Original Review: They are nice and we like them. There aren't as many options on the size/number of holes as I expected, but the ones they have work fine. Our old shakers were always either too fast, or too slow - but these have settings that dispense both salt and pepper at just the right rate for table use. They also look nice and are a handy size (not too large or too small). I took them apart to wash everything before we used them (probably unnecessary, since they were well packaged and looked very clean). These do come apart into quite a few pieces and I was a little concerned that they might jam or be diffitult ot get back together, but that hasn't been a problem. We like them.
