Clever Space Saver with a Few Caveats
Size: Left Facing
This spice rack system really helped bring order to the chaos in my cabinet, and it looks great doing it. The vertical design makes spices visible and accessible, and the included 20 jars and 801 labels are a huge bonus for customization. 🧩 Easy to Install, But Drawer Direction Matters Setup is fairly simple, but take note: the drawer only slides out in one direction depending on which version you buy (left or right facing). As a reviewer noted on page 6, it’s not reversible, which can be a headache if your layout changes or you order the wrong orientation. 🪛 Build Quality is Solid but Assembly Could Be Smoother The frame is sturdy and feels well-made, but you’ll need to screw the rails into the base — and the screws included aren’t the best. One user suggested bolts instead of screws (page 6), and I agree. A little more care here would elevate the overall experience. 🌶️ Jars and Labels Are Fantastic This is where the system really shines. The jars are glass with metal lids and fit perfectly in the rack. The label set includes multiples in several fonts, blank ones, and even a chalk marker — very thoughtful! ✅ Pros: Excellent use of vertical space for spice organization Looks polished and professional in any cabinet Tons of labels and customization options ❌ Cons: Drawer slide direction is fixed — not reversible Screw quality is mediocre Installation requires precision (and patience) Overall: This is a well-designed and space-saving spice rack that delivers on organization and aesthetic. If you're mindful of the fixed drawer direction and take your time during install, it's a great buy for transforming messy cabinets into a neat, labeled setup.

Great solution to a crowded cabinet
Size: Left Facing, Size: Left Facing
This kit is a game changer. Saves a ton of space in the cupboard, and although there is some "flex" when you pull it out, it really is very stable and holds up well against frequent use. It is super easy to find the spice you're looking for with the easy to read labels, and I think they have a designated label for just about every spice imaginable. Regardless of what cuisine you cook, I think you'll be able to organize your collection in a really aesthetic, high visible way, while reclaiming some cupboard space.

Love it! Can’t wait to buy a second one!
Size: Left Facing, Size: Left Facing
Worth every penny!! This rack is pricy, but it’s awesome. Definitely wish the price was a little better, but I still plan on buying a second one to fit more of my spices. Super easy to install and the glide feature is really smooth. Bottles and lids are quality material and overall really pretty design. Love that it comes with TONS of spice label options for every spice you could imagine! Fit in my standard depth cabinet that is 12” deep (and I have inset cabinet doors and there was still plenty of room for it). You can easily pull it out and read the labels.

Aesthetic & Functional
Size: Left Facing
Good use of vertical space. It feels very secure and sturdy once mounted. It comes with everything you need, there’s a label for every spice and variation of that spice you can think of (different labels for the same spice but whole vs ground) and plenty of jars, with a few extra. Very well thought out. The tops were also standard enough to fit some of my existing spice jars so I didn’t even need to transfer those ones I just swapped lids and/or added a label. I previously had a different pull out spice rack with two flat shelves but it was a pain to find a specific spice without moving some out of the way, and it held maybe half as many jars as this one. This is an easy organization project that will free up a ton of horizontal cabinet space and makes finding spices while cooking significantly easier. If you do want to use your existing jars, make sure they have a flat side, as cylinder shaped jars roll around a bit when you slide it out. I just transferred my spices with round jars into the provided jars so wasn’t an issue for me! Really great value, especially considering how much the kit comes with!

Spicy racks
Item Package Quantity: 2, Item Package Quantity: 2
I bought these as I needed to organize my spice cabinet. I was using a lazy Suzanne and the spices kept falling off them. These fit perfectly in the cabinet,I attached them using the command Velcro stickers that come off easy. I am in an apartment. They are strong enough to allow the shelves to slide out.
