The most basic wood spice rack is a small shelf rack with two bars. These two well positioned bars form as the most basic structure to keep the spices, so that they don't get displaced and or stuck in between the two bars. This type of rack is designed to be mounted on the wall at any convenient place in the kitchen. There are larger racks that have many cabinets in them and can hold far many spices than the small shelf rack.

The variety available in for these racks is quite large as far as their style, shape and size is concerned. In terms of material they are available in metal, acrylic, wood and plastic.

When you see that your spices are flowing all over and you cannot find the right one when needed then you must seriously consider about buying a spice rack.

Before you buy a rack for your kitchen you must know what are your needs and requirements.

Secondly you should ask yourself how much space there is available in your kitchen for a rack to accommodate? If there is less then surely you will have to find a compact wood spice rack otherwise you can buy a larger one. The most important question is how many spices do you use in your everyday cooking?
