Light-Duty, Unlikely to Last

We had a Crate & Barrel heavy duty stainless canister for our coffee for the last 12 or so years & the (plastic, but heavy duty) latch finally gave up. So we bought this as replacement - decent reviews on AMZ. THE GOOD: It’s at least a good size to hold a whole 16 oz. bag of ground coffee. (Our last one only held ~14 oz). THE BAD: Super thin stainless steel - I have yet to drop or bang against counter accidentally, but if/when that happens, it’s gonna dent easily. THE UGLY: Rubber gasket is already falling off regularly. Gonna add a drop of clear silicone to hold in place. The latch is crap. It’s hard to get the “hook” to align on the cruddy “catch” part & feels like it’s gonna break off in my hand every day. Just cheap-o. Caveat emptor!
