Nice counter addition
This spice rack is a very attractive way to keep just the spices you need on hand, right on the counter. You will still need to store the remainder of your spices in a cabinet or pantry. The bottles are small, so even the ones that are in your bottles will still be kept away somewhere too. It's not a space saving device. It's more of a handy cooking tool. You won't have to rummage through cabinets often to look for your 16 most common spice needs.

Good rack -- not perfect
I just received my spice rack, after reading other reviews thoroughly. My overall opinions: a well-designed, attractive, good space-saver spice rack. However, the jars are small and offer only caps for sprinkling, not pouring. The labels are very plentiful (50-60 altogether for a 16-jar rack, go figure), but are designed to fit on the sides of the lid, not the top which face out. I had to trim labels to fit on the lids so I could read them, but all worked fine when I did that. I like it well enough that I'm buying another, 'cause I had about 10 leftover containers of spices with nowhere to put them.

Space Saver
Good value for the money. Saves a lot of space and puts your spices close at hand. The bottles hold less than a standard spice bottle, and the labels on the side are nowhere near as nice as a label on the cap. Avery label #5278 and the associated template will make a round label for the caps that looks neat and is easy to see. It would be nice if it held a Spice Island or Morton & Bassett size spice bottle. I will be ordering a second one.

Just got the rack, so don't know how well it will hold up. Seems study and the finish is nice. No padding for the bottom, so the hard metal edge rests on the counter. That concerns me. The glass bottles don't hold a full spice canister full, so if you have any full ones when you transfer, you will have some left in the original container. Simple short-screw top makes for easy opening. There's a plastic cap that fits over the end for sprinkling. You have to remove the cap if you want to pour out larger amounts or use a measuring spoon. Same problem with regular containers, except they sometimes come with a flap for pouring. Plenty of pre-printed clear labels covering most spices. Also has blank ones to write-in. One suggestion was to have top of the canister labels, but can rotate bottles so labels show.

Excellent spice rack
Very clean look to the spice rack. Jars are of good size, with optional shaker tops as well as solid screw-on lids. Easy to label, use, and clean.

Perfect Fit
Purchase this to fit in small cabinet on boat. It works out for my purposes. Only complaint is the labels are for the body of the glass. Should have made round labels for the tops.

Spicy Functionality
We were able to reduce a giant messy cupboard shelf to manageable proportions using this product; well put together, good jars and useable labels. Recommended, especially considering the paucity of choices out there

Awesome product
This is small enough not to take up too much room on the counter but large enough to hold a lot of my most favorite spices. Very sleek design. I am very happy with my purchase.
