I spent ages looking for a spice rack. They Were Either too small (not enough jars) needed wall mounting or came ready filled. This one is just right- I already have lots of spices, so needed to be able to use empty, unlabelled jars. I also wanted something free-standing. This one Rotates, is compact and completely Call satisfactory. I'm thinking about ordering another as a friend has admired it a couple of times and I suspect, would welcome it as a birthday gift!
