If you're like me, counter space is at a premium. I also don't like a ton of clutter. I've gone through every imaginable iteration of storage: in my kitchen drawer, in a cabinet, in a spinning rack. I found each had a different drawback, either taking valuable real estate or not allowing for a large selection of spices. Two years ago, I stumbled across this and I absolutely love it. I do have it on the counter, but the unit is not deep, so it takes up very little counter space. It allows for 60 different spices, and I can customize to the spices I want (you'll see one is missing the label - hubby changed it out and a new label needs to be added. They come off easiky so you can switch to other spices). The best feature is everything is visually laid out, so you can find your herb or spice without rooting around. Amazing! The jars are glass, so safe and washable. And it comes with a wide variety of labels, most preprinted, but some blank so you can write what you want (the package even comes with a matching marker) or choose from the extensive selection that is provided). It is attractive (I've received several compliments from guests), functional, and had I found something like this 25 years ago, I would have saved myself some grief with all the wasted attempts at other storage solutions. I highly recommend.
