$6.99 now, probably? same price then, comments varied widely, discussed alternatives, some said it was okay as long as you knew what you can and can’t put in it (small). The others basically said too flimsy. You can read the spirited discussions.
I bought this in one of the previous 2,000 woots in which it was offered, and sent one to my aunt, and one to my grandmother.
Both of them were unable to figure out how to assemble, install, or use them.
TL;DR: If you’re not there to set it up, don’t buy it as a gift.

It feels like it, doesn’t it?
They are crap and Woot should just turn them in for recycling!
Received a set as a gift - not from Woot. Very few of my spices would fit in it as it’s made for small containers; not the average spices from the store. Mine didn’t come with the extra bottles which would probably be a plus… if you want to take the time to transfer your spices from the bigger containers to the smaller ones (but then where do you store what’s left in the bottle since it’s more than the small bottles will hold?). I have one of the swivel thingies in the cabinet since I had a few smaller spice containers and put the rest in the goodwill box if that tells you anything.
I picked up a pair of these from the last Woot-Off, and it is one of the few Woot purchases I fully regret! These racks are cheap, flimsy, small, and don’t save nearly enough space for what they do! I encourage you to walk away from this item! ZERO stars out of five!!!
I wish that the photographer would include a ruler or a standard - size item, like a soda can, so you can tell the individual bottle dimensions.
Can’t see info on the DROID app.
This is the only product I have purchased from woot! since 2005 - and I have purchased quite a lot - that I have actually (purposefully) thrown away.
Yes, they are as completely pitiful as others have stated.
Unless you are buying them for your mother-in-law, AVOID.

from past:

It will hold McCormick spice bottles, glass and plastic. Anything bigger than that probably won’t fit.
I also have no idea what the metal things were for. It seemed to be some kind of bracket, but what it attached to and what function is performed is beyond me.

Small semi-hard plastic ones. I don’t know if they are airtight. I also don’t know if they’re BPA-free. To their credit, each bottle has a removable shaker top. Also to their credit, each bottle is marked PET with a Recycle number of 1. Cheaper generic bottle would have no such markings. No labels are included. For size comparison, look at the AA battery. For some reason, this photo makes the bottles seem bigger than they are.

I bought these on Woot a few months ago. They are somewhat flimsy plastic but once you load them down with spices they become pretty sturdy. It is true that they only hold small (McCormick) sized spice bottles. People should also be aware that they cannot be used next to the edge of a cabinet or directly next to another swivel store. They need a few inches of clearance on the sides and in the front.
That said they really aren’t that bad. I have four of them in my cabinet and they do store a lot of spices in a very small space. I filled up the “clearance” spaces between them with larger spice bottles, olive oil, etc. They are working out pretty well for me. I’m struggling to fill the 4th unit. They other 3 hold so many that I already have every normal and grocery store exotic spice. I’ve been searching ethnic and gourmet shops for the super exotic spices so I can finally fill up my 4th rack. They really must be at least half full to be usable because the weight of the bottles holds the unit in place.
I like my swivel stores but I don’t expect them to last a long time. They are pretty good for the price and do clear up a ton of cabinet space. The main thing is to follow the rules of not expecting to put them side by side and fill them up before you pull them out.
Got it… wouldn’t fit in my cabinet… It needs more than the rack size to actually come out and swivel 
I bought these from woot, and actually really like them! There was no assembly, so the people complaining about how to assemble are completely overthinking things. The bottles are small, but I feel it completly does it’s job. Organized my messy spice cabinet
Store twenty spice bottles in only 4" of space!
They forget to mention that the instructions tell you to leave 4" on each side of the unit to allow the rack to actually swivel. First sentence should read “in only 12” of space.
No wonder they can’t get rid of them. I bought three in a previous Woot and when I asked to return them (for the above reason), the return shipping was going to be twice what I paid for them in the first place. Woot is beginning to lose it’s edge.
When did sprinkles become a spice???
I have no intention of actually using the shelves, but is the price worth it for the jars alone?

I would say so if you buy bulk spices!
I bought these without measuring and the only thing I use is the jars

muwahahaha
I bought these for sorting miscellaneous screws, nuts, bolts, etc. in the garage and it does the trick on the cheap. The portability and limited storage space is nice and I’m not into them often enough to stress their durability. I just wish it came with more bottles. Anyone pitching the set they buy this time is welcome to donate their bottles!
