I couldn't believe how much cheaper it was to buy an entire rack of spices compared to individual spices. And these are extra large bottles of very good quality, fresh spices. I was very happily impressed.

The rack itself is fine, nothing special. You don't see much except the spices and the handle on top, used to lift or spin the rack.

This is a fantastic rack for any starting (or restarting) cook, a...
