Something had been bugging about this rack all afternoon. When my uncle called me about it I told him a spice bottle is about 4.5 inches tall. There needed to be extra room so about 5 inches between the shelves. He built it with exactly 4.5 inches between the shelves. It must have been the number that stuck in his head.
Plastic spice bottles will fit in the rack, glass spice bottles will not… Most of my spices are in glass bottles but not all. Spices tend to keep better in glass. My high use spices like garlic powder are in plastic bottles. My rarely used spices are in glass.
Well, he was kind enough to build this for me without asking. So I’ll make the best of it.
@Dani , I like the idea of antiquing it. I hadn’t considered it, thanks.
