It is easy to put together. I wish there was an option to expand the height for taller items. It works great.

Although all the parts seem a little daunting when starting out, but it does go together pretty easily. I suggest putting screws at the back into the cabinet to secure the shelves like I did. It made them much more stable. The only other thing you should know is that there are various shelf parts that can be used or not to adjust the width, so you will most likely have some shelf pieces left over when you're done.

The spice cabinets were getting bad. We would constantly knock about 3 things out of the cabinet every time we went to grab something. Saw these online and figured we would give it a try. The setup was pretty simple, the shelves snap into one another kind of like the old girder and panel toy sets back in the 70s. Once it locks into place, it is a solid little shelf. Depending on your space these things are expandable and can hold different assorted-sized spice bottles. The wife fell in love with the fact that it frees up space, and you can visually see the spices better. I also went back and ordered a second one for the medicine cabinet. A lot easier to see and read pill bottles now.

Had purchased one of these years ago. This one now has gripper things on shelf so jars can't slide. Also has a pole in middle of the back of the unit for more stability than older one (nice!) Holds the weight of glass spice jars well.

I like this product a lot and recommend it. I'm giving it 4 stars because someone put a lot of thought into designing and creating a very adaptable product. It could be 5 stars with a few changes. There are 2 shelves in a box and they are well packaged.

The 1st picture shows 2 shelves (1 box) set up side-by-side and then another pair stacked on top"¦2 units, 4 shelves total The cabinet interior is 23-1/2 inches wide which is wider than what one shelf will extend. I will have to say that the spacers got me pretty close"¦like less than 1/4 inch close. This review will be a bit long, mainly due to the fact that you really can't just assemble these (though they are easy to assemble), stick them in a cabinet and load them up.

â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸ Design: pretty well designed. Whoever designed it must have spent their youth playing with Legos or K'nex blocks because this is how these go together. There are a couple of design flaws though. The first is that hardwood cabinets always have a nail cleat at the top and bottom of the cabinet (see 2nd picture). The installer will screw into this cleat rather than the cabinet back to attach to the wall. MDF cabinets like you will get at Lowe's or Home Depot or have in an apartment don't have these cleats. The Spice Shelf won't fit all the way to the back of the cabinet leaving a gap between the shelf and the back of the cabinet depending on the thickness of the cleat (see 3rd picture). Now if your cabinet is narrow enough that only one shelf fits in it then mounting the Spicy Shelf on the cabinet shelf pins would solve this. This brings me to the second design problem"¦you cannot put 2 Spicy Shelves side-by-side and have them supported by shelf pins because there is nothing to support the middle of the 2 shelves. I understand why, but I think a different leg could be designed to allow this. There is also no way of securely connecting 2 side-by-side shelves. They just sort of flop around. Fortunately I had a couple of machine screws and locknuts that I used to fasten them together using the slots for the side screws.

â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸ Construction: The fit and finish is pretty good. I had a couple of legs that didn't seem to fit tightly into the slots, but it wasn't horrible. The back legs fit the worst. They are kind of wonky and tend to want to move to the side. I only had a couple of pieces that needed to trim off excess plastic from the moulding process but I did it with my finger.

â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸ Sturdiness: *REGARDLESS* of the configuration I would highly advise screwing the shelf to the sides of your cabinet with the supplied screws. Even if you are placing one Spicy Shelf in a cabinet and it is flush on all 3 sides the legs wobble a bit and the wider the shelf is extended to fit the cabinet the more the wobble. The wobble isn't horrible, but since the legs aren't real tight you could dislodge a leg or two if you bumped the shelf reaching underneath especially if you have the shelves stacked. If you were using these for the small plastic spice containers or boxes of tea using screws might be overkill. So the few minutes it takes to drive the screws is worth it especially for glass spice jars. Now, you aren't going to be able to drive the screws with an electric drill/driver even with a bit extender"¦it's just too tight of a space. You will need to put the shelf in place, mark the holes, remove the shelf, partially drive the screws in, reinstall the shelf, and then tighten the screws by hand. The screws aren't terribly self-tapping so pre-drilling is advised.

â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸ Assembly: Very easy. The side legs are universal so you don't have to mess with "put part A into slot B". The spacers are easy to snap in and out. Good instructions. And if you get stuck just go to their website.

â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸ Capacity: I'm not sure these shelves have the rated capacity. And capacity is going to vary depending on the size of your cabinet, how you configure the shelves, and what you are putting on them. Spice containers, or any container for that matter, vary in size and shape. I managed 46 jars of various sizes between 4 shelves"¦18 less than the 64 the manufacture says that just 2 shelves will hold.

Overall I'm quite happy with the result. A big improvement over what I had. I would highly recommend Spicy Shelf. Enjoy!
