This is a unique and useful product! It is well designed, easy to use and refill, as well as attractive. It's nice to have access to both salt & pepper in the same unit. I appreciate the ceramic grinding blades that will never rust, which incidentally are adjustable from course to fine. The unit comes already filled with salt and high quality, good-tasting peppercorns. After experiencing my own, I immediately ordered two more to give as gifts.
