These are beautiful, well made shakers. There quality is apparent in both the sturdy construction and thickness of the material. The stoppers in the bottom hold securely. There are 2 spare stoppers included in the event one is needed. The shakers won't require frequent refilling as they hold a sizeable amount of salt and pepper. The holes in the top are more than adequate. The letters "S" and "P" are large, raised and easily recognizable. The base is stable and will not easily tip over. The design and vibrant colors are true to the picture. They are easy to hold and of comfortable weight. These shakers would make a beautiful gift for showers and weddings. I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it.
