These are tiny
Not the size you think it should be
Small box
doesnt come with salt
No salt
I just wish they came with the salt in them
Poor quality dented
Manufacturer's need to realise that many people would rather pay more for better quality rather than building things down to a price which only damages the reputation of the brand
Poor quality, does not stay sealed
not as deep
material could be a bit thicker
