In this charming story about celebrating differences a Chinese-American girl wishes for a garden of bright flowers instead of one full of bumpy, ugly, vegetables. The neighbors' gardens look so much prettier and so much more inviting to the young gardener than the garden of "black-purple-green vines, fuzzy wrinkled leaves, prickly stems, and a few little yellow flowers" that she and her mother grow.

Quality made and work perfectly!
Style: Three 2"W Drawers, 2-Tier
These maximize your space! I have very few upper kitchen cabinets so I really have to be organize and use things to help with space. These work great! My husband installed 3 of them in a small cabinet just to the left of my cook top. My spices are right where I need them! These are sturdy and work well, slide very easily. Spices fit nicely. They seemed a little pricey, but after they were installed, I feel they are well worth it.

Easy to install, but rub against each other when pulled out
Style: Three 2"W Drawers, 2-Tier, Style: Three 2"W Drawers, 2-Tier
These look nice, they are easy to install, and are functional. Only reason for not giving a 5 star is due to what appears to be a somewhat bent rail. When pulled out (extended) the top of the second row rub against each other causing the motion to not be smooth.

Love it!
Style: Three 2"W Drawers, 2-Tier
This spice rack is everything it says it is. Very sturdy easy to use. Reduced an entire chaotic cabinet to a small organized section in panty shelf.

Huge organization benefit
Style: Three 2"W Drawers, 2-Tier
These were a tiny bit too tall for my cupboard to put full sized spices on. But I just put the shorter spices on top. It was easy to install and I didn’t even need the screws it came with. It really helped me keep everything organized and more accessible. Although I was not able to fit as many spices on the shelf, I would still use this again for the organizational benefit.

My daughter wanted a easy space saving spice rack for her new home. I bought these. They were easy to install and great storage capacity for her spice content and sturdy. When I redo my kitchen will definitely be looking into these for space saving.
