Thanks! Yes, spices are stored in transit. Magnets are strong and haven't had any become dislodged. Jim installed the sheet metal, and the wood blocks to hold them. We do remove the spices when we get home though, since heat and humidity are not kind to them. We found ours as a set at Costco a while back, but you can buy the canisters individually from Bed Bath & Beyond. Be careful when handling them though. I ended up with a nice slice and 4 stitches in my fingertip when I popped out the plastic top on the lid and was washing it. The edge on the inside of the lid is extremely sharp.
