is it hard or softer plastic (like scratched by fingernail)? Does it absorb the food odors/flavors, or can you switch up what you store in them?

These are a hard plastic and in my home conditions with 2 dogs, does not scratch. One dog pushes/taps the bin when he knows it is feeding time. No marks or scratches. I keep a variety of treats in the top bin, and as long as you keep them tightly closed, (I use clothes pins to keep bags tightly closed as resealable pouches seem to break.) There is no cross aroma between the milk-carton type and the pouches. Some things I empty out and keep treats in better resealable bags simply to keep the bin clean. I empty the large dog food bags into the bottom, and there is aroma, but it doesn't travel up to the top. I did a smell test for you and there is no aroma odor on the plastic. We used to have different dog foods because of one dog needing softer food because she was old, and I just kept them in large zip bags. The smaller batches in the zip bags remained soft and fresh. No cross contamination between the bags and the poured in crunchier dog food. Overall, this has been a very good food container. The seals are really tight. And, if you change up food, I would just recommend washing out the bin with a very mild detergent or just plain water and drying thoroughly before spilling in the new food. I love this bin as it has made my kitchen so much more organized!

Will this hold 25lbs of peanuts?

No.... peanuts have a lower density than dog food. It would take a much larger container to hold 25 lbs of peanuts.

Big bin is 18-1/2" tall from the wheels to the top lid. 16-1/2 wide from side to side i measured the lid cause it is the widest part of the bin, the clear bin is 16" wide, side to side. front is 10-1/2 wide or 10" wide from the clear bin. The small bin is 6-1/2 tall. 16-1/2 wide, from the lid. clear bin part is 16".front is 10-1/2 wide. the bottom has a small lip that makes it fit securely on the large bin so you can move it around without having the small bin slide off. Hope this helps.

Can you open the bottom container without having to move/take off the top container?

The bottom of the top container has a lip that fits in the groove on the top of the bottom container. I find I can lift the lid of the bottom with the one on top enough to get food without having problems. More than enough to get food out. I couldn’t open it al the way, but it works well enough for my daily use.
