These are really good containers. They are a lot nicer than the "Durables" line and are BPA-free (which is important to me because I have small children*). Mine get sent to preschool and are run through microwave and dishwasher almost daily and show very little sign of wear. The lid stacking is nice but unless your space is really limited I wouldn't call it a big selling point. The only bad thing I can say is that they can stain when you put tomato sauce in them (like most plastic food storage products). *For those who missed it - BPA plastics have been linked to a number of health problems (among other things BPA mimics estrogen in the body) and are facing bans in several countries and may be banned in the U.S. Pregnant women and children would probably be best off avoiding it. For others the evidence of a health risk is more debatable (the traditional measurements of toxicity don't work well for hormone disruptors and for adults the results are not clear and may not be for some time). At least one major BPA vendor is refusing to sell it for use in food storage based on risks reports coming out of the National Toxicology Program and the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
