Do the spices stay fresh? It looks like it doesn't have individual lids for each of the spices.

You don't need individual lids as the main lid provides an air-tight seal itself, keeping the freshness inside.

Yes they do. The bigger lid, if properly closed ensures freshness. As a practice, we use this box to store "spice powders" and not whole spices.

I put everything I use frequently in them. Spices stay fresh. I bought a second.

there are no individual lids but the top lid fits night and tightly. I have not had any spices go stale.

At www.kitchenandcompany.com I also found blank jars for replacements. They have a set of 48 printed labels so you can empty one of the spices you don't need, place the label on the bottom of the jar and slide it back in. You can't see them since the only view you have is from the front. These also have blanks, since I use blends it's easy to just label it and slide it back in. I also alphabetized so I didn't have to pull them all out and look lol.

The spices are labeled according to what spice is in each container, but which spices are included are randomly picked from all the spices kamenstein offers (I had to separately order cinnamon, garlic salt and pepper flakes, since they didn't come with mine). I didn't get any extra labels though, so I just swapped out some other spices for the ones I ordered separately, and they're now mislabeled. You can peel the labels off if you like, though.

I use it for spices and it holds quite a few large ones and the smaller ones I stack two together. Some people have said they have a problem seeing all the spices and this is true, but I don't find it to be a problem. I have them in order of how I use them. You could also use it for cans (15oz size). It would hold about 12 cans.

I did not find any lids or caps in the box/ packing that would seal in freshness . They were very similar to what I have seen in restaurants.

No, sorry it doesn't. I've found that it does accommodate a pretty wide range of spice containers, though, which was good for me because I buy spices from everywhere. I bought 6 of these and created a spice rack all along the top of the doorways to the kitchen where my 6'4" husband can reach them easily. He's the spice freak of the family. I just love these and if I could find another spot for some, I'd get them!

No, but we don't use the lids for much. Occasionally we will want to store something in frig so use lid to keep the stuff fresh. Not much help for you. Sorry.

Yes, there are shelves on both sides. When I had read previous reviews, they indicated that it was hard to fit spices in them, (not all spice containers are small, I get mine at Costco) so I chose to put my cookbooks there and it makes it very handy.

yes it does come with the jars. I purchased for my wife to use for her spices and she loves it

Cheng-ann,I use mine for spices and what not, and haven't had any problems yet! Sometimes the spices tend to get a bit dry, but definitely no problems with bugs or staleness!Hope this helps,Alison

imo the tops ie. lids do not fit tightly enough to keep them fresh but they would be fine to use if you are growing your own and use the spices quickly or to give as small gifts

They seem decent enough. Just the lids aren't made well. Mine came with every lid loose cinnamon everywhere!. The rack is nice though.

I never see any shelf life on any of my spices. So my answer would be if you have it longer then a year throw it out. You could call the companythe number in on the container.Mine don't last a year so I just would go by that.

An average sized spice jar fits nicely in these spice compartments. Different spices will fill the compartments differently, i.e. powdered verses dried but each compartment is capable of holding a significant amount of spice. I hope this helps.

We went camping this weekend and the tins were on my stove hood the whole time. Spices were fresh when opened. Seem to be airtight. I love 'em.

Great question. This container is actually a LOT smaller then you imagine. It is good for storing spices rather then larger containers of kitchen goods like baking soda. It comes with stickers to label spices too.
