 Best space efficient spice rack!!!Aug 11, 2009
By Dushku
I had been wanting to buy this spice rack forever. The price was just a little bit too much for me. I was going to wait and buy it later on. One day i went to Home Goods and found this exact spice rack for 20 dollars! and bought it. Such a great buy.
I opened it and the spice rack looks way nice than the one I had before which was the Olde Thompson 20 piece Arlington set. Arlington 20-Jar Spice Rack I love this one way more. It looks really nice, and it very space efficient. I have the space for a bigger one, but this one just looks so nice. I love it.
My question i had though that no one answered in the customer reviews was what came with it. I had to open it and found out that it has these spices for those who wondered like i did.
Basil, caraway, celery seed, chives, cinnamon, coriander, cumin, fennel, ginger, marjoram, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, savory, thyme, cajun seasoning, garlic salt, italian seasoning, and lastly seasoning salt.
I love this spice rack and the bottle design is great, easy to read white letters on the tops compared to the ones with the writing on the side of the jar. Very satisfied.

Serious CookAug 09, 2007
By S. Sims
This is one of the best spice rack's I've ever purchased. I'm so relieved to have a spice rack for the counter that takes up very little counter space but has a whopping 20 jars of gourmet spices. It's heavy enough that it doesn't get knocked over when reaching for spices while cooking. The jars are so easy to read and are filled with the spices one would use regularly. I can't say enough about the brushed stainless steel finish. I absolutely love this spice rack and would recommend it to anyone. It's worth every penny. My husband even loves it!

 Can't relabel jarsJul 29, 2009
By E. Dixon
This design is both good-looking and space-saving, but the jar lids come permanently labeled. So, if you don't like some of the included spices (or simply have others that you use more) you're out of luck. (I'm a pretty serious cook and don't use a lot of prepackaged seasoned salts or other mixes - I tend to make my own.) And the lid design makes it almost impossible to simply use a label maker to relabel the jars, unless you're willing to sacrifice function. (Each lid has 2 flaps, one for sprinkling and one for pouring, so sticking on a new label will seal at least one flap - and the label probably won't adhere as well because of the gaps). Frankly, I don't really use the pour features on my current spice jars and wish these jars just came with solid lids that could be labeled/relabeled at will. The jars in the carousel version of this spice rack don't seem to have the same problem (you can affix your own labels to the glass beneath the lid) but the design isn't as modern looking and takes up more space.

 Beware of Undesirable Substitutions............Sep 23, 2009
By D. Houck
I found this spice rack in a local store, but ordered from Amazon due to the price difference. However, the rack contained many "undesirable" substitutions. Instead of basil, bay leaves, coriander, paprika, parsley and thyme as pictured on the box and as found at my local store, I received garlic salt, Herbs Provence(?), black pepper, chili powder, steak seasoning and herb poultry seasoning.
In any spice rack set, you will find a few things you won't use, but these substitutions combined with the expected ones I wouldn't use represent about half of the set (I use garlic powder, not salt; chili pepper, not powder; and would never use the poultry, steak and herbs provence item.) The purpose of having a spice rack is to have your essential spices in a neat, organized, easily accessible area to the stove. If you have to have as many essential spices setting next to the spice rack instead of in it, you've defeated the purpose of the rack.
It is a nice looking rack, well constructed and fit my space nicely. Since I'm attempting to return it, I couldn't testify as to the quality of the spices. This was not a cost effective purchase for me because of the substitutions, but would happily purchase it again if the spices I expected to find were included.

Guests always comment on this spice rack!May 25, 2007
By Kathy C
"kmcamber"
It's odd what people will notice when they first arrive at your house! Guests always comment on this spice rack. The picture does not do it justice. It is sleek and stylish and fits in with stainless steel appliances very well. I have sent several as gifts and the recipients always love them. The amount of spices received in the containers would cost you a bundle in the supermarket. This rack is highly recommended..
