What Size Spice Jars Will Fit in This Rack?,
By A.D. (Delaware) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spectrum Wall-Mountable Black Scroll Spice Rack (Kitchen)
I read the Amazon product description, and also read through all 36 reviews of this item, but still couldn't find a precise answer to my main question: "What size spice jars will fit in this rack?"
I purchased one, and am now furnishing you with the answer. The space between the bottom shelf and the middle shelf is approximately 4 3/4 inches. The space between the middle shelf and the top shelf is appoximately the same. There is a metal bar running across the front of each shelf to act as a lip that keeps the jars from falling out of the front. That lip is about 1 1/4 inch above the shelf. Therefore, in order to add and remove the taller jars from the shelves, you have to tilt the jars to clear the front lip and the shelf above. In other words you have to angle them onto and off of the shelf. I have found that you can easily do this with jars that are about 4 inches tall. The standard McCormick jars are about 4 1/2 inches tall, and I was able to get them onto the first and second shelves with not much problem. You will not want to use the first and second shelves for jars that are between 4 1/2 and 4 3/4 inches tall. However, you can put jars of any height onto the third shelf, as long as the jars are no greater than 2 1/2 inches in diameter. The 2 1/2 diameter limit applies to the first and second shelves as well. I hope this makes it easier for prospective customers to decide if they can use this spice rack. The spice rack is well made, and the finish is a satin black that is silky to the touch. I only have 4 quibbles. 1) I wish there was a bit more clearance between shelves. 2) I wish they had put lips on the back like they did on the front, so that you can use the rack free-standing on a counter top without the jars falling out the back. A back lip would also have been useful for wall mount applications to help prevent your wall from being marked by spice jars bumping the wall when you add or remove them from the shelves. 3) The only mounting hardware that is included are 4 screws that go through mounting holes in the rack. If you wall mount this rack on drywall and miss the studs, you are going to have to supply your own wall anchors. I also wish the screws were slightly longer, to provide more secure penetration on studs. 4) My last quibble is with the product information. It's sad that companies, including this one, don't provide adequate product information to answer consumers questions. It's frustrating for consumers to have to search through customer reviews or send questions to product specialtists in an attempt to find crucial information that the company failed to provide! Companies -- wake up! Overall this is a quality spice rack, and if the dimensions are o.k. for your jars, I recommend it.

Simply marvelous!,

My mother asked me for a spice rack for Christmas. Since I was doing all of my shopping over Amazon anyways, I decided to check out their stock. What I found was this amazing item from Stacks and Stacks. The great thing about this particular rack is its versatility. Unlike others that come with their own spices, this one is completely barren. That can be a great thing, considering how long those spices have probably been sitting in the bottles. Plus, many of those racks have trouble holding replacement ones once the originals run out. This rack was born to hold whatever you desire. Furthering it's versatility, it can be either wall-mounted or free-standing (which is how my mother set it up in her kitchen). It looks great, a beautiful wrought-iron style design which complements most any kitchen decor (can't go wrong with black). If it's versatility, style, design, portability, and quality you're looking for, then look no more. This spice rack is just what any kitchen needs!

Very good, but not quite large enough,

This is a stury, attractive spice rack, but it's a bit cramped. It's too small to put those large-sized spices on (eg 9.5 oz garlic salt) but it'll just fit regular height and certainly the short spices. It's a good deal for the money.
