Very high quality as mentioned i the reviews. Holds more in less space than any other I have seen.

After counting the number of spices I use, I chose the 32 bottle carousel. I just received the shipment and the quality is excellent. A friend said that he saw a knock-off for less money but the quality wasn't as good. For me, it's worth the $40 extra for a high-quality rack that will probably last longer than my body :-p And as a bonus, it matches my maple cabinets. I just wish I would have bought one years ago. My only criticism is that the bottles are exposed to light. From what I've read, light and heat reduce the shelf life of herbs. This is why I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars. Two solutions would be to use darker glass bottles or to mount stained glass panels in the open sections to cut down on light transmission. If the latter solution was employed, the manufacturer could offer different colored stained glass options. I'll probably add some stained glass panels myself.

First of all, at the time of this review the picture of the product does not match the product itself -- the one shown is the 48-jar version. This 32-jar version is similar, but each side is 4 jars high and 2 jars wide. Also, it should be noted that the spices are not included, since some spice racks come already filled.
The jars are glass with white plastic caps and come with translucent sifters (some with small holes, some with larger holes). Interestingly, the 2-oz McCormick and Badia bottles have removable sifters that PERFECTLY fit these glass jars -- they snap right on. So if you find yourself needing more of one type or another, they're easy to get. Personally, I just took all of the sifters off of the existing bottles I had and used them. The sifters included with the rack are in a bag stored away in case I need to replace one.
In most cases where I had a full bottle of a spice, the entire bottle would not fit into these jars. So now I have 32 bottles full of spices in the rack, plus a bag of the original bottles all about 10-20% full. A minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless. I'll just have to top off the jars as needed until I can throw away the original bottles.
The build quality of the rack itself is excellent - very solid with absolutely no flex, and an extremely smooth ball bearing rotating base. The included labels for the caps are also pretty nice. They're more of a plastic than paper, so they can be washed without getting ruined. There are more pre-printed labels than there are jars, so you can choose which spices you'd prefer to have. It also comes with a large number of blank labels for adding your own.

The rack is nice, but did not come with any spices. For the cost and looking at the picture, I thought it would come with something.

I did a lot of research and pondering before purchasing this rack. I was unable to find it in a store and I was hesitant to pay that much for a spice rack, sight unseen. After reading the positive reviews here, on several other sites, and speaking to the customer service at J. K. Adams, I decided to bite the bullet and placed my order.
Since I use a lot of spices, I purchased two 32 jar racks in one order, rather than getting one at a time. Initially I wanted the 48 jar rack, but it was about 1/2" too tall to fit under my cabinets, and I have no space on my counter. Now I am glad I got the two 32 jar racks, I actually have some empty jars, and I can blend some spice mixtures that I have wanted to try.
The racks arrived today and I am more than satisfied. The quality is what I had expected - they are beautifully made and revolve on the base smoothly.

This item is wonderful to have, the spices are easy to get to and you have plenty of bottles to store your favorites. I love the way it sits on a lazy susan so you just give it a spin and there you go. It is great, I get compliments all the time on mine, I dont have to dig for what I want it is so handy sitting next to my stove.

Everything about this product is top quality. I actually keep mine in a cupboard, rather than on the countertop. It's so much easier than the mess of bottles that I had, which required a constant hunt-and-peck. I also have the wall mounted Soho Spice Rack, which is cool looking, but a hassle to use. I use both, as I have a lot of spices.

I have had this spice rack for over 12 years. It was expensive at the time (and still is). It is top quality and worth every penny. JK Adams is a Vermont company that makes great products - beautiful maple wood and smooth ball-bearing turntable. The spice labels are made of a plastic and wipe off easily. The 32 bottle size allows for a nice assortment of spices. I purchase my spices in bulk at my local food co-op/natural foods store - they are much cheaper and so fresh. This rack sits on my counter and often gets compliments from visitors. I saw some cheap racks similar to this one in a discount store and they are a joke in comparison to this one.

The craftmanship of the spice rack is perfect. The wood is finished beautifully and has a "soft" touch to it. When it arrived I washed the bottles in the dishwasher and hand-washed the tops, which had some kind of greasy residue on them. The labels then attached perfectly, and were for the most part a good selection of common herbs and spices (curiously missing was Mint, which I would rather have had than Cinnamon Sugar, but it's a small point). The design allows for 32 bottles in a small space. The roller bearings run very smoothly. I am quite happy with this purchase.
