I am redoing my office/craftroom. I work from home full time so my craftroom is also my office.
i have a wall of built in shelves that is my craftroom section. I’m moving from my supplies housed in plastic boxes to more customized solutions, Shelves are 16 inch high. I found some fabulous CD and DVD stackable boxes that open in the front (magnetic) for my clear stamp collection. I bought a nail polish stadium stand for small bottles like Pops of Color, Pixie Powders etc. I’m going to get another one for embossing powders and other small items. I also got a cassette holder for ink pads.
Does anyone know where I can find a stadium stand (or something similar) for glue? I’m tired of having to rummage through my glue box to find the one I want. I have bottles and tubes of different sizes. I’ve seen some makeup ones, but I’m looking for something taller to not waste the vertical space between shelves. Also, the makeup ones I found did not have a lip on the shelves to keep the glue in place.
I haven't seen a stadium stand that would work for glue, but I did see some spinners that were intended for craft paint that might work. I've also seen quite a few DIY projects that could be modified for your purpose. Even something as simple as PVC pipe or empty cans or something glued together in a stack could work.
Check in the bathroom organization area of stores (online or actual stores). Here’s one I am currently using for ink daubers but I think this kind of thing would work for you
When looking for unique storage solutions, you cannot beat the selections of The Container Store. They do have an incredible website; however, living in the St. Louis area, my preference is to go in the store (with my samples of things to store) and fit-check them. I do have a big selection of Stamp-n-storage items and know they are always refining their product line, sometimes based on customer input. I have also found local restaurant supply auction sites have items that can be repurposed for crafting.
Not about crafting storage, but I have also discovered that brands carried in stores (Walmart, Target, Office Max, etc) are not the same as at the other stores. When I outfitted our RV, I ended up going to several local stores to find what I needed for each space.
I just went over to Amazon and searched for Stadium Shelving For Spices.
A ton of choices popped up, even expandable lengthwise with rubber gridding on each shelf.

I was thinking the same thing-a round tiered spinner/lazy susan. The problem with adhesives is they are all different sizes from 10 ozs down to 2. But 16 inches is a nice clearance height so that will make more available for you. Unless over your desk you have some wall space and can use 1 rack for glues since we reach for those a lot...also try in nail salon supplies. I was going to go that way for small bottles at one point. But there was room for bigger bottles. They are all over amazon-nail polish bottles displays or something like that. Do you use tape though? Those wont go on that although if it has a center rod that sticks up, maybe you could put a couple of rolls on that.
Sounds like you are going to have a great looking space! Yay!

Thank you all for your suggestions. I had trouble finding a Lazy Susan with a lip, and small enough to fit on my ten inch deep shelf. Eventually I found one on Amazon after seeing it in a BuzzFeed article. It is nine inches in diameter and has a stationary stand- the turntable turns on top of the stand.
Thank you for your help.
