A declines in quality of the rubberCecyliaKORKEN Jar Rubber Seals: The rubber seals for the KORKEN jars seem thinner and less robust than before. They degrade faster, becoming sticky or falling apart after a year, which affects the jars’ functionality and requires frequent replacements. Better before 20253
Nostalgic!KimThis jar is charming and functional. Its quality construction is only matched by its affordable price point. I purchased several for my new home. It’s a great upscale farmhouse style that adds a touch of class to any kitchen, bathroom or office space. A+.5

Great JarJustinLocking lid is perfect.5
Just what I neededKathyI've been slowly switching from plastic to glass. These hold quite a bit but still small enough to fit in my cupboard or the fridge.5
The best jar that protects products such as, MilkGregoryThe jars were easy to use and has proven the milk left inside lasts much longer than expected.5

Carcinogenic gasketMatthewThe glass jar itself appears to be well made. I originally purchased this to store pickled items in the fridge - until I read the insert in the jar and did some research. 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, found in the gasket, is definitively linked to higher cancer risks by many healthcare organizations. I can't justify using this jar versus a mason jar or something safer. I also find it strange a company like IKEA would sell a product with this insert and advertise it for food storage. Needless to say, I'll be double-checking my IKEA food-related product purchases for now on.2
Glass jarIreneI use this glass jar because it keeps my nuts fresher5
Great Quart JarWilliamI use this larger jar for my fruit liquids for Jam/jelly making. This work great!5
Not the 'Clean' alternative I was looking forJulieI bought several of these as they are glass to reduce my exposure to toxins. Upon closer inspection of the label I noted these products contain a probable carcinogen, albeit most likely contained to the rubber gasket. I'm not an expert but it seems like a food safe silicone gasket would be a better choice for this product. I will probably return these for something else.3
FYI - Color NOT as Advertised (Scratches)RahvauniaThe jar is definitely not the same color as advertised (photo) on the website. It says "brown-red", but it's actually closer to a terracotta color. Not even close to the brown-red photo. ALSO - The jars are painted (meaning it's a clear jar that is painted on the outside) and the paint scratches off very easily. Jars arrived with the paint scratched off where the closure latch touches the jar. There was also a small scratch on one of the jars. Having the colored jars where it would protect any food items from sunlight/light was a great idea, I just think this attempt falls short. Either use a colored glass (ie: beautiful dark green you had a few years ago; that I excitedly purchased 20 of) or find a paint process that will cure well enough to be a bit more durable. Loved the matte color idea. If you buy a jar for color, you want the color to last as long as the jar. Other than the esthetic/paint quality issues, the jar works as it should, which is why I gave 3 stars. 3
