This organizational unit is built from Moso bamboo, a material known for its strength compared to standard plastic risers. It utilizes a lateral-slide expansion mechanism that allows it to adjust from 12.75 inches to over 22 inches in width. To maintain the smooth operation of the slide, it is helpful to keep the track free of debris.
The build quality features 12mm side-walls and a rear stabilizing bar, providing a more rigid frame than many budget alternatives. However, the design does not include a mechanical stop at its maximum width. Care should be taken when expanding the unit to its full 22.25-inch limit to ensure the two pieces remain securely joined.
Specifications indicate that while large spice bottles fit the depth of the tiers, users should ensure they have at least 10.5 inches of vertical clearance in their cabinets to remove bottles comfortably from the top row.
The lacquer coating provides a layer of protection for the bamboo, though the unit's stability is highest when weight is distributed evenly across the center rather than concentrated on the far edges. At maximum expansion, the center-point stability can decrease slightly if heavily loaded jars are only placed on the outer sections.
For those managing a smaller cabinet footprint, the fixed-width steel organizer provides a compact and sturdy alternative.
