The problem is that "designs" like this don't allow people to use quality salts and peppers. At a minimum, pepper should be fresh-ground. To me this should be a major part of the design. The consumer loses. Imagine a refrigerator that wouldn't allow organic food. Hi Sara. The problem is that “designs” like this don’t allow people to use quality salts and peppers.

I think all types of salt and pepper shakers and mills are perfectly acceptable, and this is just one more option for someone who might want a different option. :) Hi Todd, thanks for the comments.

While I applaud their look and materials, they aren't very functional. Pepper should always be accompanied by a grinding or milling mechanism, not preground and placed in a shaker. Also, the holes look very small on the salt shaker so I imagine it doesn't accept many of the wonderful, healthier, salts currently available. For salt I prefer serving it in a container where you can pinch and spread it with your fingers and using a mortar and pestle if the salt needs to be crushed. “Functional”?
