I have been looking for some spice jars that would all be uniform in shape and size. The rack makes it nice to move the spices to the area I am cooking in so I don't have to run all over the kitchen when I need something. When not in use, they fit nicely on my lazy susan, out of site. Everything was just fine out of the box. The labels have so many spices and blends that I didn't even have to write out my own description. I do have a suggestion though, when you empty the spices into the jars, take a piece of masking tape and put the expiration date of what is inside the jar, on the bottom of it so you know when to discard what is inside.
