This item is not advertised accurately. The description should tell you that the lids are plastic with a thin chrome-color coating. Even though the lids were covered with plastic to protect them when shipped, they arrived scratched. They are cheap-looking and cheaply made. If they were chrome lids, they wouldn't have scratched so easily, if at all. While the rest of the spice rack looks great, the lids are what you notice and they make the whole product look bad. I wanted an attractive spice rack to sit on my counter, but I don't even want this hiding in the cabinet. Very disappointing!
