Generally speaking the design is a good idea. Too bad the bottles don't seal well. The lids are poorly maufactured/designed and do not seal properly. As a test, I put water in one of the bottles and put the lid on nice and tight then turned the bottle on it side and watched the water run out. This is not good for spices as they will not keep well if the container is not sealed.

Have looked for five years (since Rubbermaid quit making) for spice rack and this is best ever. Compact entry in kitchen cupboard using VERY LITTLE space and giving simple access. Refuse to even comment that lids are a little flimsy.....

After reading such great reviews, I decided to purchase this spice rack and I have not been disappointed. It is very attractive, sleek and modern. I also found that some of my standard shaker tops fit the bottles! This is GREAT because some of my mixed spices are too large to fit the standard shaker top that comes with the bottles. I am very pleased!!!! If you need a spice rack, this is the one!

I purchased this item about 2 years ago and have been looking for another one ever since. You can label the jars for the spices you use - not the spices the manufacturer thinks you'll use. It will easily slide into a slim space in the cabinet, or is attractive enough to leave on the counter. I used my computer to make labels for the spices I use, giving it a very professional look. I finally found them again and am going to buy 2 more!

I bought two of these racks and I love them - I had previously stored my herbs and spices on one of those tiered shelving units/racks, and invariably I'd knock over an entire row when I would attempt, however gingerly, to sort through the jars and retrieve one from the back row. This spice rack is a great space saver, and it's attractive enough to leave out on the counter. Most importantly, I can find what I'm looking for at a glance. I enjoy an organized life, but now, even my spice jars are alphabetized!

Another reviewed mentioned that the jars are small. I don't find this to be a problem, as the jars are ample enough to store quantities that I would go through in a reasonable period time. Herbs and spices tend to lose their pungency over time, so stockpiling isn't advisable.

Beauty and function - 5 stars.

finally found the spice rack that works for me so good in fact that I bought another one.

This is a great spice rack, beautiful and space-efficient. Only negative is that the lids are chrome colored plastic, not metal.

Good for a small space, attractive design and good quality for the price. This is not an expensive spice rack but you get what you pay for here. I don't have any problem with the jars, I find that they seal fine and I like the size. The only thing I did not like was the labels (white circles), which I replaced with a more attractive design.

This spice rack is compact and easy to use. It comes with stickers so you can use whatever spices you prefer and the bottles are not too large. I like to buy my spices in small quantities so they always stay fresh and this rack allows me to store those spices well. I wish that Polder had provided a set of pre-printed labels for basic spices as well as the blank labels that are provided. The one recommendation I have is that you should put the spice rack in a cupboard so that your spices are not exposed to light (which ages them quickly).

I gave this to a friend at her bridal shower with an assortment of dried herbs. The ladies ooohed and aaahed. The bride is using it and claims to love it. The rack itself is attractive, as are the shiny silver tones jar lids, and fits nicely in a small space. The jars are easy to open. I'm adding this puppy to my wish list...
