I do not like these as well as I thought I would. They turn very easily on the carousel. And unlike others, I do not have a hard time  releasing the individual units.  But I do not like how the bottom releases for a quarter teaspoon per turn and it is hard to get anything but the smallest measuring spoon into the top. And the sprinkle portion on top is too big  for a lot of the spices such as garlic salt. I am using this spice rack and intend to keep it, but I would not buy it again or necessarily recommend it.
