Summary: 5 Stars
I have had two of these for over 20 years. (I'm going to assume the quality is still the same; it appears to be from the ones I have seen in stores.) The other reviewers have covered a lot of the main issues.
I purchased this because I do a lot of ethnic cooking. I didn't want a rack full of things like "Italian seasonings" that I would never use in a predetermined ratio, and I wanted the flexibility to include things like amchoor powder that never show up on pre-labeled bottles. I also wanted bottles with wide enough mouths to allow a narrow tablespoon measure to fit inside.
This product was perfect for me. There are a large variety of pre-printed labels, and lots of blank ones for more exotic spices. The labels stick very firmly -- there's no problem with them peeling off. (The biggest issue after 20 years is that if I drop a bottle, the plastic lid may split. In contrast, very few of the glass bottles have broken, despite me being pretty clumsy. You can buy replacement bottles, lids and labels.) The rack turns on ball bearings and is very stable. The wood is easy to clean, but doesn't show smears and splatters the way stainless steel or acrylic would.
Having labels on the top makes them easy to find in the carousel. The downside is that they're so easy to find when standing in bunches on the countertop next to the stove that it's difficult to get family members to replace them in the carousel. It would also be nice to have labels on the bottles themselves, so when you're adding a rapid succession of seasonings to hot oil, it's easy to match bottles and lids at the end. At the time I bought mine, there was no computer software for printing on the labels that come with the set, but that may have been addressed by now.
As far as jars being too small -- I prefer to only fill them with the quantity I will use promptly, then store the remainder in the freezer to maintain freshness. It makes it more practical to buy the bulk spices at the Indian food stores that are so amazingly economical. It's also fun to share small quantities with friends who want to experiment with new recipes.
