I love love love these storage containers. Like many people, I am moving toward using more glass containers than plastic ones, and this set is great for a number of reasons:
1. You get usable sizes in this set. In most sets (notably by that other company that rhymes with Styrex), you get a couple of decent sized containers and a host of teensy ones that aren't good for much. No one needs a zillion teeny-tiny little storage containers in the kitchen (I use some in my office to hold paper clips and pushpins, though, so that's something). However, I finally decided that buying sets of those other brands just didn't make any sense for my household's needs. We don't save spoonfuls of this or that, we just eat it (I guess it helps that I am careful about not making too much of anything).
Anyway, the inflated prices of those other sets for the bazillion pieces make you think you are getting something, but you're really just getting a couple of pieces you'll actually use (in the kitchen, anyway). So this set is perfect; there are no tiny little storage containers you have to re-purpose in the garage to hold nails or in the bathroom to hold bobby pins. Five stars for that alone!
2. These are sturdy and well-made. I have not used them in the oven, and frankly, I don't really recommend using storage containers in the oven. No matter how well-made a storage container, it's still a storage container and shouldn't be treated like a casserole or other dish intended for baking in the oven.
That said, these do work great in the freezer, and they do great in the dishwasher. As with anything made of glass, it's important that you not take one from the freezer and transfer it immediately to the microwave (or oven). Glass shatters. That's what it does, particularly when not treated properly. Likewise, don't set a hot container on a cold surface (in the sink, on a metal burner, etc ) or a cold fresh from the freezer container on or in a hot surface or environment (like the microwave). I'm only including this stuff because so many people write about glass containers shattering, and sometimes, this is due to user error. You can't treat a glass storage container as you might a plastic one.
3. The lids are secure and airtight. They're not quite at the level of air-tightness as say Lock & Lock, but getting a good seal on glass is not possible. These are as good as I've seen/used.
If you don't want to fiddle with the four-sided locking system, this may not be the set for you. However, I definitely think it's worth the ten extra seconds it takes to snap the lids on for the seal.
4. Easy to clean and keep clean. The lids are a "transparent" BPA-free plastic, so you can see what's on them and needs to be cleaned. With a red or black (or other colored) lid, you can think its clean, but then run your finger over it and discover a camouflaged bit of yuck.
Glass, of course, is not porous, so it's easy to clean and doesn't ever discolor or become stained. It also doesn't break apart and send particles of who knows what into your food.
Over all, I cannot recommend this set enough. (And no, I didn't get them for free or at a discount! I paid full price and would happily do so again if I needed more good-sized, high quality glass food-storage containers.)
UPDATE: I've been using these storage containers for a while now, and I am more in love with them than ever! I got an ice-cream machine for Christmas (YAY!), and I use these to store my ice cream. Unlike in the cardboard containers you can get for this purpose, these storage containers keep the ice crystals out (I use full cream, light cream, and half and half in my ice cream recipes, so ymmv).
At first I was a bit disconcerted when the "seal" ring popped out when I was removing a lid, but as it turns out, this is good because I can clean up under it when I over-fill a container with my yummy homemade chicken stock! :) The seal is good, though again, not precisely airtight over longer periods, but I have already noticed a huge change from the glass Pyrex containers with plastic lids that I also use; they just don't provide the same freezer protection as this set.
For normal use in the refrigerator, these are also great. I use Lock & Lock for veggies, salad, and the like because the seal cannot be beat, but this is a very close second. If you want to remove all plastics from your kitchen (including the ever-fabulous Lock & Lock), this might be the set for you as long as you plan on using your stored veg / salad / fruit more quickly than you'd have to with the Lock & Lock.
Bottom line: this is a great set of storage containers. Treat them well, and they will serve you well.

Set is good quality, Stickers are annoying.
I think this is a great set. The glass is good quality and it looks nice. The lids all fit well and are easy to snap on and off. They are a little tricky to store, but that's because they aren't quite made to the correct size to fit within each other (there are two different ones that are oddballs--the rest can nest inside each other). That's to be expected with a glass set though. I knocked one star off because they put a sticker in the middle of each lid and it's not a vinyl sticker that comes off easily. It's a true sticker that leaves behind the white backing when you try to take them off and when you scrape the white backing off with your fingernail, it leaves the nasty sticky residue behind from the sticker adhesive. I can't figure out why they would make such a nice set and ruin them by putting stickers on top that they have to know the consumer will not want on there, so they need to come off.
