It's a nice, attractive container. I bought it for my daughter so she could put her round lip balms in it for display on her shelf. Very pretty when they are all inside. My only complaint was that amazon or the third party seller but the item description label ON the side of the product. It is impossible to take off easily, must use a lot of oil and elbow grease to get it off. It drove me crazy because the canister came in a clear bag, yet the sticker was put on the product.The material looks sort of like glass, but is a lot like plastic- a 50/50 hybrid if you ask me. It's better than plastic, and a lot stronger than glass- if you drop it, I highly doubt it would break. I was completely happy with this item until I figured out I could buy the same thing at a local store for $5. Look elsewhere before you buy, but this IS a quality product.very tiny, all cheap plastic, including lid.I thought that it was for some reason- but apparently I didnt really read the part that says plastic. It really is so close that you can barely tell the difference. I really like it.Just right for the office candy jar.Just right sizei bought many acrylic containers for my candy buffet. this was very nice quality. wont shatter if your kids tip them over!This jar is awesome. I ordered two to use on a candy buffet for a wedding at our home this summer. Good size, reasonably priced, and fast shipment.
