The Gigiftree 4-tier riser is made of 1.2mm gauge carbon steel, providing a high tensile strength for organizing various kitchen items. The electrostatic powder coating creates a matte finish that resists minor scratches, though it is best to wipe up acidic spills like vinegar or turmeric quickly to prevent staining of the surface.
The sliding channel allows the width to be adjusted to fit non-standard cabinets, though there is a small amount of "play" in the joint when fully extended. Because of its height, the unit is most stable when heavier items are placed on the bottom tiers to maintain a lower center of gravity. This helps prevent the unit from tipping forward when reaching for items on the top row.
Practical Usage Tips
- The 2.1-inch step height ensures that about 70% of the labels on the rear jars remain visible for easy identification.
- This 4-tier design is most effective in cabinets with at least 12 inches of vertical clearance.
- Using a small brush or canned air can help clean the 90-degree inner corners where dust or loose spices may collect.
The metal steps are durable, but can experience a slight "oil-canning" effect (minor flexing) if very large 16oz containers are placed on them. For smooth shelves, adding small adhesive rubber grips to the feet can help prevent the rack from shifting during use.
For a more comprehensive setup that includes the containers themselves, the SpaceAid jar and rack set provides a complete uniform solution.
