SONGMICS Ink Black Spice Racks (KCS005B01) – Set of 2 Stackable, Expandable Cupboard Organisers
Product description
The essentials
If you’ve got a cupboard that looks big on paper but still feels chaotic day to day, these SONGMICS spice racks are designed to fix that. This set of 2 cupboard organisers leans heavily on vertical storage, helping you turn “unused space” into extra room for items like spices, coffee bits, or countertop extras you’d rather not keep half-hidden.
They’re also the kind of organiser you don’t have to shove out of sight. With the perforated, metal look, they can act as a practical display on the counter or sit neatly inside a cabinet when you want the kitchen to look calmer.
Where they fit in your kitchen
These cupboard organisers are aimed at people who want structure without going all-in on built-in cabinetry. The main idea is simple: use the space efficiently by stacking or arranging the shelves to suit what you store.
On a practical level, imagine opening the cupboard and finding everything grouped and reachable instead of buried. You could keep frequently used jars at the front shelf, and bulk or less-used items on the other. If you’re trying to tidy a small “spice zone” that spills into multiple cupboards, this sort of modular setup can make a noticeable difference.
It’s a reasonably straightforward add-on for kitchens that need organisation, not for anyone expecting a custom-fit unit.
What you’ll notice day to day
The standout here is flexibility. The design is described as customisable, so you can place the shelves stacked, side by side, or in an L shape to fit your space and needs. That matters because cupboard layouts vary massively—what works in one kitchen might need a different arrangement in another.
There’s also the “don’t be ashamed to show it” angle. The perforated metal shelves are visually distinctive, so even if you do use them on the counter, they don’t look like plain storage bins.
That said, it’s worth setting expectations: like most organiser systems, how well it works for you depends on your cupboard depth, shelf spacing, and the size/shape of the items you’re storing.
Strength for everyday storage
These are small metal shelves, but the key point is load capacity on the shelves: up to 10 kg on the small shelf and up to 16 kg on the large shelf (as stated in the product description). That puts it in a more reassuring bracket for heavier kitchen items than you’d expect from something that looks compact.
For example, you could allocate sturdier kitchen equipment (or heavier jars/containers) to the shelf that’s intended to handle the higher load. The description specifically mentions leaving the coffee gear or panini press to them, which hints at the intended use for practical, weight-bearing kitchen storage.
Still, if your priority is storing extremely awkward items—very tall containers, irregular shapes, or bulky equipment—measure and plan first. The physical arrangement matters.

When it makes sense
It’s a solid pick if you want a set of cupboard organisers to make spices and other kitchen essentials easier to access, particularly if you’re short on usable space inside your cupboards. It also makes sense if you like the idea of modular storage—changing the layout as your kitchen needs evolve.
It might not be for you if you’re after a fully custom, perfectly fitted solution for a specific cabinet. Also, if you can’t confidently gauge whether your cupboard dimensions will suit a stack/side-by-side/L-shaped arrangement, you may end up fighting the layout rather than fixing it.
Final verdict
Overall, these SONGMICS spice racks are the kind of practical kitchen storage upgrade that tends to earn its keep quickly—because they’re about making existing cupboard space work harder. The perforated metal style is a nice bonus, especially if you plan to leave them visible. Where the fit can get tricky is not in the shelves themselves, but in whether your cupboard layout and your item sizes line up with the stackable and L-shape options.
If you prioritise flexible organisation and want storage that can handle heavier items (based on the stated shelf loads), this set of 2 is worth considering. Just make sure you check your cabinet dimensions and plan how you’ll arrange your items before buying.
