3.0 out of 5 stars
Design good, spices not so good,
By When I brought it home, I noticed that the spices pictured on the box and on the display model were NOT what was included in my box. This wasn't a huge deal, since I have most of these spices anyway, but somewhat annoying. For example, one that I assumed by the box would be included was whole allspice, which is a fairly pricey spice. Not here. Another annoyance was that the labels on the box and display model were more attractive than the huge, san serif block letters on the tops of the jars that I received. A little thing, maybe, but irritating to me. When looking at the material that came in the box, there was a disclaimer that the spices included may vary from the image on the box. Fair enough, but why did the display model include them? Another downside was that the spices I did get were not very fresh. I chucked some of them and replaced with what I already had on hand. Any time you buy something like this, of course you are going to get spices you don't use. But for them to be stale is pretty bad. Basically I ended up tossing or replacing quite a few of the spices on the rack, since several of them I don't consider "everyday use" spices. Caraway seed, mustard seed, savory? But not cinnamon, cumin or sage. Pizza seasoning AND Italian seasoning? Seems kind of redundant. It would be helpful if the manufacturer included replacement labels with other spices so that you could customize the jars to your liking. Or better yet, a few empty jars! Perhaps I'm being overly picky, but I wish I could have gotten a version with no spices at all that I could just fill myself with what I actually use. Maybe it's me, but I think these type of things need to be functional as well as attractive. Aside from all this, the rack is quite nice in design. I like the size and the shape of the jars, and the stainless steel looks nice in my kitchen. It seems as though it will be easier to clean than many of the others I've looked at. I think it will serve its purpose well, once I finish customizing it.

Cool container, lame spices,

I bought this spice rack since I needed spices but didn't have room in the cabinet. The container for it is great, nice looking. But the spices given are a joke for the most part. Some of the things I have never even heard of. Also, how can a spice rack not even include cinnamon or cumin or cayenne or red pepper flakes? They put some odd things in there. So, I just emptied the containers and added my own. I went to the craft store and bought stick-on labels and re-labeled all the spices so they look uniform. Bottom line- buy it for looks and then use your own in their containers, the spices provided are not very useful in everyday cooking...at least not in my house.

i like it, but slightly disappointed,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kamenstein 20 Jar Revolving Spice Tower (Kitchen)
i was very excited to receive this item in the mail. i have been trying to find an inexpensive and attractive spice rack. i was disappointed to see that the metal is cheap and was bent at the bottom of one of the columns. i was able to bend it most of the way, but it's still a little obvious. i'm also disappointed that they didn't come with all the spices i was hoping and instead included some off the wall spices. i am very impressed that when you buy this item you also receive a 5 year supply of spices for free if you pay s/h. i checked it out and it's worth it in comparison to buying at the store. i think it was a good buy for it's price.
