I positively LOVE it! When I first set it up, I purposely bought a couple dozen extra containers, and the little shelf that my husband made has enough space for those containers. I have filled some of the containers, but I still have expansion space for other spices as I discover them. I’ve found that I use seasonings oftener and more creatively, simply because it is so easy to get to each of the spices. It wasn’t the cheapest setup, but I truly couldn’t be happier with it.

Now that you’ve had this for almost a year, is it still working well for you? I have mine in a carousel thing that has worked great for years but I’ve continued to add additional spices for the various ethnic foods and have too many for my carousel. I don’t think they sell them any longer so I can’t just get another one, so I thought about switching it all to this style. I just want to hear it actually worked out as lovely as it first seemed.

I bought a two layered lazy suzan that fit nicely in my cupboard over my stove. I put all of my spices on it and just turn the ‘suzan to find my spices.

Looks great. I did this a few years back, except I used the plastic rectangle baby food containers from Gerber. Not nearly as fancy, but I’m cheap! And I also had a baby at the time so I was finding a million uses for those containers!

Could you put magnets on the back yourself? Do the tops fit tightly enough that you wouldn’t end up with a mess if you put together a DIY magnetic spice wall?
