New Products: Overall Love But Questionable Bottom Turn Mechanism

In summary, the bottom turn mechanism on the STA is flimsily attached, and the product does not hold a lot of spices.

Got my new products today and loaded my STA. Love how it looks but does anyone else think the bottom turn mechanism is a bit flimsily attached? It's much more "on there" on my TTA. It also seems flimsy when I"m carrying it by the handle. But, I guess I should carry it by the handle and the base. :)

Overall, I love how it looks. Sad that we have 24 spices (27 w/ the Honey Vanilla Sprinkle, salt, and pepper) and that it doesn't hold everything. But, I'm probably one of the few people that have everything.
 
The base is different, but the full STA shouldn't be nearly as heavy as a full TTA. And, yes, according to the C&UG it's not made to be carried by the handle alone.

Nope.......I think most of us are junkies ;)
 
This was the product that I was most excited about at conference and I was so upset to see that I didn't earn it in the SAT. I earned the $1500 level. I can't wait to get my hands on one! LOL
 
They probably didn't make it large enough to hold ALL of the spices/rubs because (1)- they keep adding more, but (2)- it's perhaps the right size for a standard cabinet? Just guessing on that last one- since I don't have one yet and haven't measured my cabinets.

Bobbi, I believe you're right, and you make perfect sense. Mine looks great on my countertop (plus I have zero cabinet space left). So, there it stays! I'm pretty content with it.
 
when can we order the Fall Sample packages? I'm excited to see this spice rack!
 
August 2nd-Sept 30th is what the Sample Product Order form says.
 
It would also be great for crafters to hold paints or items.

Just trying to sell more of this wonderful product. :)!

I have to say (in total fun of course) that this was completely my idea. About 5 months ago, a friend and I brainstormed a rack for our spices and it was nearly down to the tee just like the spice turn about, she even sketched it. Then viola, new fall products and guess what, me thinks someone was reading our minds! :D

FYI - this product is also great for TS, Watkins, and Wildtree consultants to take their products to shows...so if you have any customers that are reps for any of those companies, definitely promote this product to them!

I was going to ask this. I have a TS cons and her team who are interested. I did not earn it so do not know if their spices will fit. Anyone know?

Yes, they'll fit.
