when i removed the rack from the box i found that the bamboo stand was only joined together in one corner and it promptly fell apart. i had to glue it together myself thick bamboo wood though so it has a nice hefty feel. heavy wire tilt stand with welded washers to allow wall mount.  the spices came in foil pouches and most only half filled the jars. especially of they were not the flaky kind that fluffs up. the spice jars are nice though.  nice solid glass with a plastic gasket that keeps the lid firmly on. the lid has 2 spouts on opposite diagonal corners. one for pouring and one for sifting. the 4 holes for the sifting side are large to allow for big flakes. you will need to be careful sifting fine powders and granules though.
