Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm an avid cook and had an entire kitchen cabinet devoted to spices. It was such a pain to pull down bottle after bottle to find the one I was looking for (Murphy's Law=It's always in the back). I had way too many spices to store in a counter-top rack. This was the perfect solution for me. I'm only going to add comments I hadn't already seen, or to disagree with some reviewers if I thought their comment might keep someone from ordering the rack. I think the plastic is fine. As a matter of fact, the rack is heavy enough that I almost wondered if it was partly metal. I guess if you were really rough on it you could break the shelves by yanking on them when pulling them out, but normal care should prevent that. Fully loaded, it's pretty heavy and that keeps it from tipping forward. I also lowered one shelf in my cabinet so that it's close enough above the rack to prevent the rack from tipping forward- even though, as I noted, I don't really think there's much risk of that. One thing to consider is that if you have a spice cabinet with a rack on the door, which takes up space when the cabinet is shut, you really need to measure to make sure this rack will fit with the door shut. Also, if you have European style hinges (the kind that take up space on the inside of the cabinet so that they don't show at all on the outside of the cabinet) you need to measure the interior dimension of the cabinet to make sure the rack has clearance from the hinge. I still need the spice rack on the door of my cabinet, so I had to do some rearranging in another cabinet. One thing I liked, but didn't notice until the rack arrived, is that it comes with pre-printed labels, but also with plenty of blank labels so that you could make your own labels, if you wished. If you're a little obsessive-compulsive about all the labels matching, there are enough blank labels to make all of them yourself. The label sheet would also go through a computer printer, and has a label type # to help you format and print the labels. I'm not that obsessive-compulsive about it, but if you are, now you know that you can just go right ahead and be OCD to your heart's content. I find absolutely nothing to complain about. It did seem like a lot of money for what is essentially a plastic box, but I sold myself on it when I realized that having one would keep me from buying duplicate bottles of expensive spices. That's something I've done more often than I want to admit. So for me, this rack actually saves money, organizes a cupboard (leaving more room for more cooking ingredients), and keeps me from getting annoyed. I'll never again have to ask somebody taller to reach a bottle of spices, or have to pull six bottles out to find the one I want, or discover that I've got two or three duplicate bottles and wonder which is freshest. It's a win-win situation all the way. **** UPDATE: It's now June of 2011. I have had zero problems with this rack, and would buy it again. It's like new, despite being fully loaded and used daily. I'd still give it five stars. Since I bought it I have not purchased a single expensive duplicate bottle of spice. I have not once run out of a spice because I see every bottle every day and so I get a daily reminder of spices that are running low. Even my husband, (whose organization method is "shove it wherever you can cram it") puts my spices back where they belong because every space is labeled and putting it where it belongs is now the easiest choice to make.
