Plastic Organizer Storage System

One of the roommates got fed up with the state of our spice cabinet and ordered one of these. I liked the way it worked enough to buy another. I like the unit, it does more or less everything it is supposed to, but does have some failings (which I'll get to shortly).The unit holds almost as many spice jars as you could get into the same space with stacking, without the nightmare of trying to find something. Assuming you're using the tiny style of spice bottles (like the standard fare at supermarkets), you should be able to hold 4-6 bottles per row, 16-24 total.The slide out features does work, though it will stick sometimes, especially if you're pulling hard. This can cause the whole unit to pull out of your cabinet if you aren't careful as there is no retention mechanism for keeping it in place, other than tiny rubber feet. The sticking is not unexpected for an all plastic unit, and nothing that a bit of NSF grade silicone lubricant can't fix. Velcro is a good solution for keeping it in cabinet, but making it able to be taken out for cleaning.This unit needs SPACE on both sides . Don't expect to buy a bunch of these and stuff em all into one shelf and have them work. They absolutely will NOT work if they are directly up against a cabinet wall or even another one of these units. The action of pulling out will work, but the swivel will not. They need a couple of inches clearance (really more like one inch) next to the front where the swivel happens. This means they cause some dead space in the cabinet.Overall this is an ok product with some glaring flaws that are more or less easily fixed or overlooked. Typical from an 'as seen on tv' product which was probably quickly kicked out the door to sell without very much testing. It works and is cheap enough that I can ignore the things I had to modify.

I didn't find it useful for my spice bottles as the new spice bottles are too wide for this shelf. However, What I ended up using it for as I didn't want to send it back... was my craft paints 2 fl oz bottles fit nicely. Six bottles per shelf a total of 16 bottles fit this whole unit. Another thing is shelf space is tricky. You have to figure out how to center this unit in the cabinet or book shelf, (whatever you are using store your paints)... In my case only one of these units will fit in the cabinet on one shelf. You lose space because the shelf has to be able to fold after you pull the shelf out to get your spice/ or paint..Also, you have to slide the shelf out towards you in order to get to your spices/or paint if you put bottles or anything next to the unit all the way to the front. So, you have to be sure it doesn't tip forward as you are doing this so you can pull the shelf out and fold to see your paints.It is still a good space organizer. Just "tricky" I was going to buy another one, but unless you have a roomy shelf, you cannot put two side by side without having some space between the unit.... I estimate 2 inches between the unit for it to work. I will probably buy another one as I have the room to juggle. I hope this makes sense and helps make using this unit easier for those reading this post.

Review by Mrs. JD, It is very easy to use, having said that, there is not a hole on the bottom specifically to screw this to the cabinet shelf. Does not glide well, the directions even say to hold the base in place when pulling out a tray. I would screw through it anyway but I don't think the plastic would hold up, more likely to crack and or break. Does help very much to keep my spice bottles from falling into the trash can when trying to reach one in the back of the cabinet.Does not hold oversize bottles, maybe a one inch max width.Overall I am OK giving this 4 stars as it is exactly what I expected. I don't expect it to last more than a few years so durability is 2 stars. As the plastic is of low grade, I am not likely going to give this as a gift.

We have one very narrow kitchen cabinet where we keep spices. It's frustrating to have to take everything out to get to one bottle from the back. The space is too small for a lazy susan, and since we rent we didn't want to spend a lot of money making a customized rack solution. This swivel shelf seemed like a good solution, and for just ten bucks it is. I do wish that the shelve heights were adjustable to accommodate taller bottles, but it fits 75% of my spice bottles, and that's good enough. My cabinet is too narrow to swivel the shelves out and completely perpendicular as the maker's website videos show, but I don't really need it to do that in order to get to the back of the shelf....just pull it straight out (if that makes sense).

I bought the Swvel Store to organize my spice cabinet. Things kept falling out every time I reached for something in the back. This fits great in the cabinet and was super easy to put in. I wish there was some way to secure it as I’m sure in a hurry I’ll tip it. It only fits the small McCormick sized spices so my onion and garlic powder big bottles are off to the size but other than that it does what I bought it for.

Some folks have complained that these are "cheap plastic" but I have no issue with that at all. I have THREE in my cupboard right now, keeping my spices organized (alphabetized) and easily found whenever I want them. No more digging around in the shelf looking for the marjoram - I know right where it is. And once you have it filled about half-way, the weight of the spice jars really holds it in place. It's got rubber feet on the bottom, to keep it from moving around the shelf.I was wary because of the negative reviews I'd read but I bought ONE, just to see if I liked it. After I realized how happy I was with it, I bought 3 more. I'm only using 2 of the 3 additional ones because I over-estimated how many more bottles of spices I had, but now I've got a spare for when I start mixing my own spice blends!
