I read a few not so favorable reviews, mostly stemming from problematic attachment of the stand (which mine does not suffer), but I decided to order it anyway, figuring the potential upside eclipses any issues with the stand (you can also wall mount it). Well it has paid off, as the magnets work as promised, the tines stay sealed tight, and the tops rotate to open two different sized outlets for the spices. I pitched the included spices and filled it with my own. As for labels, there are many clear preprinted labels available for purchase here or elsewhere to accommodate your own spices. I honestly have never seen a better designed spice rack, and it has worked beautifully.
