My tiny pantry has always been a jumble of items piled on top of each other. You couldn’t find what you wanted without taking other stuff out. I bought these storage containers and organized my pantry. I love that they’re see-through! I haven’t put the labels on yet, but I’m very pleased with the results . The canisters were not difficult to pull apart as some others stated. I guess the packager heard you and fixed it. Though I had a moment of concern when I opened the package… before you open the plastic wrap of each stack, it looks and feels like 4 stacks of all the same size boxes! But as I removed the plastic covering and pulled on them I realized they were just nested very deeply! Love my purchase!
