Reviews for Choice 1 Gallon Glass Penny Candy Jar with Chrome Lid

I do not recommend these jars. They are not even and seem to be thinner in places than in others bought 27 and 10 have cracked or shattered. It is easy to see on the jars that are not broken that they are flawed. Wish I didn't go for the pop up ad when I went to order the anchor hocking jars

You will not regret your decision to purchase a half gallon penny candy jar. The shipping was very fast the product is flawless there were no scratches on the beautiful shiny chrome lid it came off easily with one hand in a holding a jar down just pop it off great size for a little bite-size candies even some cookies or seasonal snacks could go in there I would definitely purchase again the product was wrapped carefully and well taken care of for shipping

Worked perfectly! They are very cheap and have a very big volume. Put lots of candy and all the kids will go crazy. We used two of these for my nephew's birthday.

Really nice containers. Looks more than it cost, would highly recommend this product. Its a thicker glass material and it the lids that it comes fits really well with it. The packaging was great too, none of the 6 came broken or missing.

Great quality with a classy look. Kids are easy to get on and off and don’t stick. I like that they don’t have to be screwed on.

This is an excellent product. I have many of them from another source. I like this one best because the lid has a gasket that seals it air-tight.

Bought these for my boss' desk because she always has candies. These are very durable and heavy. I liked that they could either sit straight up or on their side.

These bring some organization to small business and clean up hodgepodge of containers.

Great size just the right amount for portioning coffee breaks for candies

I keep mints in this jar at my desk. I am always testing recipes in the kitchen but when I meet with a client I need fresh breath. This keeps the mints fresh and the display is nice too.

These were a perfect touch for my birthday party cookie bar table. My guest loved them. A few arrived broken, but I called customer service and they sent replacements out very quickly

We love these but they crack and break easily always on the same spot in the corners which is unfortunate. We never put them through the dishwasher and just to always use with care

Terrible product. They are rounded on the bottom. When placed in the top forward position and rock from side to side. Lids are thin and canisters arrived with scratches on the lids and the canisters themselves.

Love the jars. We bought them in 2 sizes to display cookies and keep them fresh longer. However, the lids are a different matter. The knobs are cheap plastic with wood screws instead of sheet metal screws and they are very short. When you tug on them, they break out the plastic inside the knob and you can't fix them. I bought new knobs for the lids that are heavier duty and they work great.

I have seen mixed reviews. For the price they are perfect - and they have a seal on the lid unlike the more expensive anchor hocking ones.

These jars are unreliable. They often do not sit straight. Instead, they rock. Most of the time you can even see the bulge in the glass. It's very difficult to be able to fulfill orders when the majority of the jars I order arrive either broken/shattered or rocking. Webstaurantstore.com has always been great to work with and replaces the items that arrive with issues, but I'd much rather the manufacturer take more care and quality control in making these items. I know they cost a little more but I might change to Anchor Hocking and see if that's a better quality item.

So we received these within a couple of days of ordering, they were packaged really poorly and were just laying loose in the box. It looks like someone had attempted to put some cardboard around them but it was an epic fail. However, much to our surprise, none of them were broken. Ounce we set them up on the counter, we quickly realized they do not sit level and they wobble and sit crooked when on the side position. Which is why we bought them, so customers could easily reach in and grab packets of sugar, creamers etc. Also, if I bought something like this again, I would look for some without the seal in the lids for the application we need to use the for, it makes it difficult for the customer to get in and out of the canisters. They literally Read More

I can't really recommend these jars for display. I ordered 16 and at least half don't sit flat. It's difficult to get some of the lids off and when you add the fact that they aren't stable it's just an accident waiting to happen. I'm going to have to replace them with the apothecary jars, which by the way are wonderful. Cute, but huge waste of money.

These jars are cute and pretty sturdy. I use these for my candy . Easy to wash. I would recommend this product to future buyers for sure

I've had three of these EXPLODE under normal usage conditions. Thank goodness no customers were immediately next to them. The first two exploded, sending shards everywhere, when transferring stock to them. The third was in a cardboard box, ready to be disposed of (because the first two explosions were quite enough!), and a staff member walked 18 inches away from the box and it shattered. When I say explode, I mean EXPLODE--shards of super-sharp glass everywhere, and a huge BANG that scared years of life out of bystanders.

They don't sit even on a counter. They rock sided to side. Tried to use for ice cream toppings but had to add a silicone to the bottom so they wouldn't fall off the counter.

Ordered these cute 1 Gallon Choice Glass Penny Candy Jar W/Chrome Lid. We ordered I think 24 of them to start our candy store. When we first put them on the counter, they were not stable, wobbled. We were not sure what to do. We just added a simple fix. We put felt feet on the bottom on each of the four corners. Perfect! Thank You Webstaurantstore.com They are Lovely! They are just what we were shooting for. Our customers love our new candy in our sweet little candy jars.

This jar was used to hold powders for smoothies and it does its job. Wish it didn't wobble so much and the lid is very thin so make sure to handle with care or it will dent or bend. Other then that, its a good product.

These are affordable but we found the lids do corrode pretty quickly. The screw holding the knob on the lid in place is prone to corrosion too and we've had them fall out... so be careful or you might wind up with a screw in your product.

I ordered 2 of these & both of them came with a large bump on the bottom. It was large enough that they would not sit flat but rock back & forth. To Webstaurantstore.com's credit, I contacted them & after sending them pics of the defect they refunded me.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that this item seals shut. Most Penny Jars have loose lids. They are great for cereals, cookies, etc. The only drawback is the bottom is slightly rounded which causes the jar to rock back and forth when you have the jar leaning forward as pictured. I've never experienced that on a Penny Jar before. Also, do not push too hard on the handle when closing. The lid is very thin and the handle came off with the screw attached the next time it was opened.

These jars are a great size for a topping bar. We use them on our ice cream line to display and store our nuts and candy sundae ingredients. The angle of approach is perfect for quickly accessing contents with a measured scoop.

These candy jars were exactly what we wanted, needed AND were reasonably priced. The only issue we had was that the knobs on several had a large scratch across them. As it turned out we replaced the knobs (which we had intended on doing) so it was not a big deal. Had we not replaced the knobs we would have asked the company to replace them.

We use these for our ice cream toppings and they work great! The only thing I wish was that they had an airtight lid to help keep the product in them fresher, but luckily we go through it fast enough and what we don't we just fill less. Great deal though, they were more than double this price locally!

I originally purchased these for a 1940’s themed party. I’m definitely going to use them to display candy, though now I am also going to use them to hold K-cups! These canisters are awesome! They’re sturdy and plenty large enough...I can fit about 40 K-cups in a single canister!

The Choice 1 Gallon Glass Penny Candy Jar with Chrome Lid help us keep all our toppings in a safe and fresh manner. Our customers love them because they can clearly see the toppings available to them.

I like the fact that the jars are big, and they actually look like they would cost more. However, I ordered 4 jars, and took 2 of them out. They both wobbled. The jar would not stand straight so they do tilt side to side. Nothing a little hot glue can't fix. I can say I was a bit worried on ordering glass, as it was my first time. The packaging was great and arrived with no damage.

We use these jars for our cupcake bar and it goes over so well! People love to be able to see all of the toppings we offer. The lids fit perfectly. These jars are very fragile though and shatter easily. Make sure to take care of them carefully!

I bought 44 of these jars to use for a business and wish I didn't. 4 of the jars arrived broken and 8 of them broke within days of using them. They are paper thin and I wouldn't recommend them at all. If there was a zero star rating, I would give it that.

While these jars are cute and just the right size to display candy in my store, the lids are very poorly made. If they don't arrive scratched and dented, they soon will become so. Simply removing the lid from the jar causes dents to form. The knobs are made of cheap plastic and many have sharp plastic "spurs" of overrflow material from the molding process. These sharp points are right where fingers need to fit to open the lid. The screws that hold the knobs to the lid do not stay tight, and the knobs fall off in my customers' hands. The screws then fall into the jar with the candy. After 5 weeks of use, the plastic shaft the screws thread into breaks off and the knobs are then unable to be used at all. I was so excited to find Read More

We use these for display in our stores and fill them with bubblegum balls, cookies, etc. They look chic and the glass stays pretty clean. The lid also stays on tight which is sometimes a problem for these types of things.

I was not impressed with this product. The metal lid scratched and tarnished easily. I ended up tossing them after two uses. I would suggest spending a little more for a better product.

Great product for storing dry ice cream toppings. We bought a few of these, and they look nice all lined up. The larger ones with use for our cereal toppings. Be sure to purchase a scooper!
