YouCopia SpiceStack Adjustable Spice Rack Organiser

 

I really like this spice rack. Fit perfectly in my cabinet and freed up so much space in my previous spice drawer. Overall I am happy with my purchase. I would recommend and repurchase if I had more spices to house.

 

Item itself is great. Quality Control issue – missing spice labels. The labels are supposed to be included as stated in both the Amazon description and on the box containing the item yet they were missing. Emailed YouCopia support; waiting on resolution.

 

Highly recommend! I have wasted so much money on spice organizers over the years, none have really met my needs until this one. Lazy Susans, tiered racks and stands all end up looking cluttered and don’t really help you keep things organized. Plus you often have to move spice bottles to get to ones behind or below. Not with this product! First of all – it looks so much nicer in your pantry because the bottles are hidden inside and the organizer has a clean, modern look. Second, almost all of my spices fit , including the little ones and the tall ones. The only ones that didn’t were large square tins like Old Bay. I only had three like that so I just put them on top of the organizer. The dividers are adjustable so you can make the slots shorter longer to meet your needs. Third, you don’t have to move spices around to get to what you need. And another huge plus – there are removable labels (some preprinted for common spices and some blank for you to write your own), which makes it super easy to find what you’re looking for and then put it back in its place. My pantry shelves look so much better now – even my husband is impressed. I am going to order another one because, while I had recently purged a lot of spices that I rarely use or were past their shelf life, I know I will end up buying more and I have filled up this first one. I am really happy with this product!

 

I first learned of this product via purchase of a more inexpensive youcopia product. The option to get it here on Amazon in granite instead of white ended up being the reason I bought this. It also comes with a decent number of labels, if that’s your thing.

I can’t decide if it’s too big or too small. My own fault for only looking at the pictures on my phone and not measuring, but I didn’t think it was nearly a cubic foot in size. But that’s okay, I expected it to take up nearly a square foot of my counter. But for its largeness, I was bummed to find that my largest item (the big pepper grinder on top corner, Wegmans brand value size) was only a couple millimeters too tall. If the rack had been a half inch taller, it would have been perfect. Instead I keep it on top with a handful of other items that are big or hold liquids. Missed opportunity; a lip around the top to serve as a caddy for bulkier items, instead you have the company name and a minimalist design etched into the top. Could have gone on the side if they wanted free advertising. However they may have avoided that design choice because the thin plastic does not seem to want to bear much weight. The photo of the items I have on top, that amount of weight makes the top bow a couple millimeters. My second photo shows it open; I was really looking forward to the concept of letting the drawer hang over my counter like this. With it only half full, but two of the containers made of glass, I’m a tad nervous leaving it open and unattended. I’m also worried that one clumsy moment from me or my girlfriend will accidentally destroy a whole drawer or the whole thing.

Lastly, if you see yourself having lots of the mini-size spices, know that this only comes with three dividers, and you can get more at the company website for $5 for three more, no idea what they want for shipping, and they’re only available in white from what I can tell.

So consider your spice collection first. If you have no glass, and no oversized grinders, and are potentially willing to pay for extra dividers, this could be perfect for you.
