Cole & MasonOldbury Walnut-Stained Salt & Pepper Mill Set

Did not hold up—too $ for the quality

Top tabs on the pepper mill are broken, so top comes off when you handle it, spilling peppercorns everywhere. The “wood” veneer on the sides has chipped away, so they look shabby. Even on the finest setting, the pepper grinds large chunks, not fine enough for seasoning properly. Every time I use these I feel a little angry and sad about the amount I spent on them, which was a lot for me at the time. Thought they would last years.

Waste of money

The Trader Joe's disposable grinders last longer. I only refilled it twice before the tabs on the lid broke. I have been able to refill the disposables more times than that. I gave it 2 stars as I do like the look.

Peppercorns

Giving as a gift. Looks like hi quality product. Nice packaging.

Very well presented in a black box. the mills were larger than I expected and of a high quality. They are to be given as a Christmas Box so very pleased with both the mills and presentation.

After year of daily use

I live to cook and prepare family meals daily. I received the Oldbury Mill set as a Christmas gift - they are beautiful- and have put them work everyday. Within 6 months, the plastic tabs that hold the grinder head on top have broken for both the salt and pepper mill. They mills are still usable but the top of the grinder will fall off if picking up from the metal top or if it falls over. This is the same top you remove to refill and likely the delicate plastic tabs broke from repeat refills. Also, refilling is a poor design. The grinder shaft that the head connects into extends above the rim of the mill reservoir. This makes it very difficult to pour peppercorns or natural salt crystals into the mill because the shaft blocks the top of the hole. Using a small funnel is impeded by the shaft as it blocks the center of a small funnel preventing peppercorns from entering. Elegant style, good adjustable grinder, poor design - expect more from most expensive mills in the wood collection.

High Quality

I love my new salt and pepper grinders. They were expensive, but high quality. I am happy with my purchase.

Appear nice

I am sorry to rate this one star but I received this set and it had salt and pepper in it. Yuck. Had to return

Disappointed

Received item and it came used . The pepper mill looked like it was used. The salt mill had salt inside! Some salt and pepper flakes left on the packaging tape. I wish someone would have checked before sending this out to me. Now I can’t even return it because it’s past date of return. Was so excited to use these.
