Spectrum Diversified Countertop 3-Tier Spice Rack, BlackPros:
It's thin enough to slide where I wanted it to go and isn't flimsy.
Cons:
The rack is a bit wobbly until you fill it up with enough stuff. The width of the tiers makes it so that tall items on the top can flop off because the sides don't come up high enough to serve as a railing or hug the items in place. In general, the rack is sturdy, but I wouldn't suggest putting it anywhere that might get bumped. That should avoid any problems.
Besides the top, the tiers are too short to fit half of the spices I wanted and if I put them on top, it makes it too tall to fit the rack under the cabinet I wanted, so make sure you know the measurements you're working with. Since McCormick seasoning is so popular, I'll use that as an example.
The middle and bottom tiers can fit the mini (2") and small (4 1/4") McCormick seasoning, but not the large (5 1/8") McCormick seasoning. The tiers are 5 1/4" high, 2 1/2" deep/wide, and 12" long, fitting 7 mini/small McCormicks. See pic I added to the gallery. Hopefully this will help other customers.
This is really a nice little spice rack. It holds a good number of jars and tins, and while it can easily be used on the counter, I chose to wall mount the unit because I had the perfect spot next to the stove. Mounting the rack was a snap with the included mounting screws and plastic sleeves. It is quite sturdy yet lightweight. It looks rather attractive, too. I currently have it filled with 21 different jars and tins - I have included a picture for reference.
UPDATE, 18+ months later:
This is the little spice rack that could! It is still hanging on my wall fully loaded with my most frequently used spices and it has been rock solid since day one. It still looks brand new - I sometimes spill on it but I just wipe it down to return it to it's like-new appearance. I am really happy with this spice rack as it was a very good investment.
I ordered three chrome spice racks and they are very nice, well-made and exactly what I wanted. The only space available for three racks was the narrow space between the ceramic cooktop and the wall. I elected to leave them free standing. I have received many compliments about my spice jar organization. I am a happy cook.
This is exactly what I needed. It takes up minimal counter space and I was able to fit 20 average sized spice bottles. I love the fact that it stands on its own, but also includes hardware for hanging. I may order more to mount on the wall inside my pantry.
So many spices, so little space.
One of my cabinets is a nightmare, jars of all sizes and shapes all over the place. Constantly falling over, falling out, making me crazy.
I keep the most often used in a spice rack on the counter, and those that don't fit just shuffled off to the side.
So I get my rack today and immediately get it out of the box and onto the counter, and start filling it.
I'm already out of space for the most part, and now I hate my current rack 110%, so I just ordered a second rack.
It will be much more organized, easily accessible, and more attractive on my countertop.

I like how it is made, and that it fits under my cabinets on the counter. However, If there were 1/2" more space between the bottom two tiers, all my taller spice bottles would fit. As it is they have to be only on the top shelf, and some of my more used ones on the other two.
Overall, it works well and serves it's purpose
I used three large command hooks to hold this up. Love my new spice rack!
I was looking for a rack to organize some lotions and hair products next to my vanity. I have my vanity set up in the corner of my room, and I thought it would make sense to mount this on the wall next to the vanity where it would be easy for me to access. The rack mounted easily on the wall with some wood screws. I actually have filled up the entire rack, and now my go to items are easy to find, and no longer clutter the vanity counter top. If you do happen to have extra counter space, this rack also comes with legs that can stand as a shelf rack. I highly recommend this item for any storage needs.
Both spice racks arrived in perfect condition. The standard jars fit nicely on the shelves. The racks are freestanding and very sturdy, but they also come with drywall anchors and screws if you want to hang them on the wall. Pushed up against the back splash, I still have 21 inches of counter top in front of them to work on. There aren't any drawbacks if you want to display your spices, while storing them conveniently and efficiently. This is a great solution.
I was trying to find a solution as to how to store my spice bottles so that I could read each label. The pull out drawer in my first pantry wasn’t working because all I could see is the tops. I bought these two, two tiered shelves and place them in my pantry in an L shape and they work perfectly. They hold plenty of spices, all different sizes of bottles and most importantly keep my spices forward facing so I could read each label. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to organize their spices. It also comes in a three tier as well !
