5/5 Great simple and effective
By WildMum

One bottle was broken in transit and Amazon replaced the entire set and let me keep the original too! Nice and compact and simple. Can fit a teaspoon in the jar. Definitely a great upgrade from using the plastic bag that the herbs and spices I buy come in! Plenty of stickers too and the slightly off centred occasional one doesn't worry me. I plan to have the set sort of out of sight, well at least not a display feature anyway.

5/5 Attractive and functional 
By BullMeister 

I have 3 of these mounted on the wall under the cabinets. Attractive and handy and it clears up a couple of shelves in my cupboard. I didn't realize how colorful spices are until I put them in these clear glass jars without all those labels hiding them.

The unit is very heavy duty so I hung them up with spring open toggle bolt drywall fasteners instead of the kind that swells into the hole that are included. I also bought the Spice Jar Premium Waterproof Circular Labels in silver with black lettering for the lids so the lid tops match the brushed steel. The lids screw on tight and you can even use the plastic shakers and lids from the Spice Islands jars if you like. I fastened mine to the wall just above the counter backsplash which gives me enough room to use the top of the spice racks as a shelf to store my liquids and oddball stuff (vanilla, orange, peppermint extracts, salt & pepper mills, etc).

The only downside I know of with these jars is that they're a touch smaller than the spice jars from the store. I can fit about 80-85% of a Spice Islands container and 85-90% of a McCormick Gourmet Collection container in the jars so be prepared to keep a box stuffed in the back of a lower cabinet with your original spice bottles. I pull them out once in a while to top off my jars. 

All in all a very good, well built product that doesn't clutter up the counter top. It has rubber feet on the bottom if you want to leave it on the counter but with a coffee maker, crock pot, toaster, cream & sugar containers and glass cutting board already on the counters I wanted something I could hang on the wall to save what counter top I have left.
