Best Spice Storage: Sizes, Access and Layout
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details
Start with the spot where the spices will live. A drawer insert, a countertop rack and a cabinet shelf each suit a different height and reach, and each depends on measurements. Count the jars you own, note their heights, and measure the cabinet opening or drawer depth first.
A note on this list: three of the six products are purpose-built spice racks, the Fousdou wall-mount racks, the Copco three-tier rack and the SpiceNest pull-out racks. The other three, the Rubbermaid containers, the Vtopmart drawers and the caktraie baskets, are general storage that could hold or corral jars if the size works. If you want more rack options, see the pull-down under-cabinet spice rack and kitchen cabinet door spice rack guides.
Quick answer
If you want a rack, start with the Copco 3-tier rack (15.16 x 9.06 x 3.54 inches, for cabinet or countertop), the SpiceNest pull-out racks for narrow cabinets (4.5 inches wide each) or the Fousdou 4 pack of clear acrylic wall racks. If you want to decant spices into clear airtight containers, the Rubbermaid Brilliance 10 piece set (clear, BPA free plastic) is the one to check for container sizes. For a narrow shelf, the Vtopmart 4 pack of small clear stackable drawers is the closer fit. The caktraie 5 pack of white closet baskets is a simple way to corral jars on a deep shelf.

FAQ
Is any product here a dedicated spice rack?
Yes, three are. The Fousdou wall-mount racks, the Copco three-tier rack and the SpiceNest pull-out racks are sold as spice racks. The Rubbermaid, Vtopmart and caktraie listings do not mention spices, so use them with some care.
Which products suit narrow spaces?
The SpiceNest units are 4.5 inches wide each but need 12 x 11 x 5 inches of clear cabinet interior. The Fousdou racks are 9.52 x 3.18 x 2 inches each and mount on a door or wall. The Vtopmart drawers are described as fitting narrow spaces, though their sizes are not stated here.
What should I measure first?
Measure the shelf, drawer or cabinet opening, and the heights of your tallest jars. Then compare against any stated product dimensions, such as the caktraie 16.6 x 13.1 x 7.32 inches or the Copco 15.16 x 9.06 x 3.54 inches.
Do the Rubbermaid and Vtopmart listings state sizes?
Not in the details used here. Check the product page for container or drawer dimensions before ordering.
Where can I find more spice rack options?
Look for a pull-down under-cabinet spice rack or a kitchen cabinet door spice rack, as covered in the guides linked in the introduction.
Closing note
Spice storage starts with your jars and your space. The Copco, the SpiceNest and the Fousdou are the three made as spice racks, and the Rubbermaid set, the Vtopmart drawers and the caktraie baskets are worth checking against your measurements if you prefer general storage.
