I BOUGHT THESE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WOULD LOOK GREAT ON MY DINING ROOM TABLE. THEY LOOK AWESOME AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY WORK AS GOOD AS THEY LOOK. I LOVE THEM AND I AM SPOILED NOW AND I DON'T THINK I CAN RETURN TO REGULAR TABLE SALT AND PEPPER. GREAT VALUE AND TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY! I DO RECOMMEND THESE GRINDERS AND WELL DONE TO THE SELLER!
