Tagco Spice Stack - White
Spice StackTM makes organization a simple matter and maximizes space. Three tiers organize up to sixty spices. Each tier is equipped with a pull out drawer that flips down on hinges for viewing at a glance. Has a logical, easy to operate design that fits all cabinets. Drawers are color coded to divide spice varieties. Plastic, 11 x 11 x 8″.

Customer Review: Bought 2 - love ‘em!
First, these are great. They have five narrow spaces in the front and four wider spaces in the back of each drawer. They pull out and lever down conveniently. They fit nicely on our cabinet shelf and really helped to make our spices usable and tidy.

Now for the things that you should be aware of before purchase:

1) The plastic is not flimsy, but it is not sturdy either. The structure wobbles a bit when you use it — so I pull out the drawers with care. I love this thing and don’t want it to break!

2) The spaces are sized to fit your traditional round spice containers (tiny half sizes, full size, and larger sizes in the back), but they do not fit the extra large sizes that you can sometimes get in the grocery. These I put on another shelf. We have a few fancy new square glass bottles and rectangular spice tins that are roughly equivalent in size to the traditional containters. So that you know, these fit in the drawers, but they obviously don’t fit the round shape.

3) In the description, I recalled that it said that the shelves could be labeled. No labels are provided. There is space for this, but you will have to cover a colorful, oddly shaped sticker that displays the product name on each shelf. I suspect that our organization scheme may change from time to time as our spice selection changes, and that labeling over the product name sticker will look hokey, so I am letting the label idea go.

Overall, this product was a bit more expensive than I would have wanted to pay for an organizer, but it works quite well.

Customer Review: GREAT item - clean storage lines
My pantry finally looks like an organized person uses it!! Wish I would have bought them earlier!

Clock
Sometimes simplicity can be heartbreaking. So it is with The Clock, a wonderfully simple love story that stands as one of the gems of the MGM golden years. It should be noted right off that this 1945 film is not a musical, despite a talent roster led by the maestro of MGM musicals, producer Arthur Freed. Rather, it’s a straight, black and white romance about a soldier (Robert Walker) with a two-day pass in unfamiliar, overwhelming New York City. He meets an office worker (Judy Garland), and in the glow of the city and each other, they fall in love. Underlying the sweetness of the romance is the time limit of the soldier’s leave, after which he will be sent overseas; the clock brings an urgency to the action, especially after the lovers lose each other in the crush of a subway. Veteran character actor James Gleason provides lovely support, as does his real-life wife, Lucile. Director Vincente Minnelli brought his designer’s eye to the film, turning (by his own avowed intention) New York City itself into the third main character in the drama. It’s not difficult to guess the reason for the film’s strong emotional tug, or for Judy Garland’s radiance; Minnelli had fallen in love with Garland during the making of Meet Me in St. Louis a year earlier, and they would marry after filming The Clock. She was never lovelier than in these two pictures. –Robert Horton

Customer Review: The Definitive 1940s Love Story!
I first saw this movie when I was eight years old and ten years later I still have not grown tired of it. It is one of those films which gets better with each viewing. The deceivingly simple love story of a young woman and a GI who fall in love and get married within 24 hours seems formulaic. But this film is anything but formulaic. The characters are unique and down-to-earth. What I liked best about this film is the way you can imagine what life was like in New York in the 1940s. The mannerisms of people and the mood of the America in this movie are so different from today, yet the film has aged well and is still relatable. Anyone who has ever felt bewildered in a new city could connect to Robert Walker’s character (it is everybody’s dream to find his/her soulmate by accident in a strange city populated by millions!) The film is may be slow-paced for some, but don’t let this discourage you. By the end, you’ll be surprised how completely immersed you’ll be in the story and the characters. The film, besides starring Judy Garland in her only non-musical role, has an excellent supporting cast and is directed by the talented Vincent Minnelli. And as a side note, the beautiful musical score of the movie amplifies all the emotions in the film. Don’t be surprised if you get watery eyes.
Customer Review: Great Acting in a Wacky Plotline
Compared to most of the other reviews, I’m sure mine will seem like a cynical, bitter pill. I’m under the age of 50, so I’m sure that might have something to do with my opinion as well. Listen: I love movies from the golden era as much as the next guy, but this overly sentimental bomb is saved only by Judy’s presence in an otherwise near-psychotic piece of Hollywood drivel. I’d rather watch Wizard of Oz, at least I know I’m watching a fairy tale ahead of time. Since others have given the basic plot line, I’ll skip to the parts that I thought were completely implausable. It takes a great deal of suspended disbelief to swallow this movie. The fact that they have not exchanged more than first names after 24 hours is a great example. People do more than that even in today’s fast-paced dating scene, so I’m sure that in that age you’d need a bit more info before falling in love and getting married, regardless of impending war. The dialogue in the park scene was absurd and the odd music (complete with angelic vocals)under the scene where they somehow unrealistically fall in love made it seem extremely… well, unrealistic. A ride from the milkman in order to get home from the park? Sure, I’ll swallow that. Delivering the milk for him? I doubt it, even in that innocent time. Then we get to the cafe scene. Pure Fellini. The drunk and the extremely odd woman at the bar made it seem like a nightmare scene at best. More odd was the fact that Judy’s character just smiled, chatted and drank her coffee during the whole scene, nearly obvlivious. The “let’s get married right now” and “we have to get a liscense and blood test before 4:00 PM” writing, acting and montages were all heavy-handed at best. And the wacky dialogue and plot turns through this section made the film fall lower than it should have. My favorite scene: During the wedding dinner at the cafe, when Alice laments her wedding as “ugly” and cries. The whole drama is being watched by the kitchen help at the next table, strategically placed close and dead-center in the shot between the two stars, simply ruining an otherwise nice bit of acting. Minnelli might have known what to do with musicals, but he bruised this movie with poor choices throughout. Parts of this turkey were downright laughable, and not in the right places.

Customer Review: This is a Must Have!!!
Bought this extension cord at the same time as the sonic boom alarm clock in order to be sure teenage son must actually get out of bed and go across the room in order to shut off the alarm. The alarm itself is wonderful however the combination of the two is a MUST!! What use is the alarm if the person using it should turn it off and then try to get a few more winks?
