Thread rack.exactly what I needed

For wall mounting - Remove the legs, use them as horizontal cross pieces as they are long enough to span the wall studs. Screw the cross pieces horizontally and spaced vertically to allow the thread rack to be screwed to the cross pieces between the spool racks. Add four screws and ta-da! Worked very well, used all the material, added four screws. I didn't give them a five because they could improve the design for wall mounting. Either put wall hangers on the back of the vertical uprights OR…

Pros
  • Keeps thread organized and easily accessible for sewing, embroidery, quilting, and more
Cons
  • The wood may stain or absorb dye if thread is stored on it for too long

Keep Looking - Better Racks Out There

I do not like this rack at all and after owning it only a couple of weeks, have decided to replace it as soon as I can. Small thread spools don't fit thick pegs and mini king spools overlap at the base making use impossible without constantly rearranging. Only way for me to use it is to fill alternating pegs. Waste of my money compared to other thread racks I have. See photo for a visual.

Pros
  • Can be easily disassembled for storage
Cons
  • The spool holders may be too tightly spaced for thicker spools

Good purchase best in my review

I like the rack. Only problem is when it is full id doesn't stand alone very well. Still a nice way to organize my threads where i can see each one.Would I purchase it again.I think so.

Pros
  • Accommodates a wide range of thread and cone sizes
Cons
  • The rack could easily be knocked over if bumped or if the surface is uneven

Best thread rack ever.

Love this thread rack. It is made very well, it is very sturdy. I noticed that when I received it. If you're looking for a very good thread rack, this is it. I would highly recommend this to everyone. Thank you for a great product.

Pros
  • Hold serger thread
Cons
  • Not portable or easy to travel with

I like the idea of this rack but it could be better.

I ordered this for the 120 spools of Rayon Embroidery Thread also sold by Revain. The spool holders are just a little too close so if you want to pull a certain color, the base of the spool may be underneath the spool next to it. Takes a little jiggling to keep other spools from falling off when you select one. Also, it doesn't seem to be strong enough to hold the 120 spools. The row of spools where the top of the back brace attaches is tilted because of the stress on the rack. I'm going to get

Pros
  • Suitable for both professional and hobbyist use
Cons
  • The rack may not be strong enough to hold up over time with extended use

Just like pictured.

I bought this as a gift for christmas but the item arrived with a few flaws. There was a spilt in one of the wood uprights and one row of spool holders was loose. I was contacted by Threadart about a replacement rack and they promptly shipped me another one. Thanks to April for taking care of the problem so quickly. The new rack was in perfect condition when it arrived.

Pros
  • Kees all my threads organized
Cons
  • Not adjustable to fit different size spools

BUY BUY BUY - my new review

I braid my own hair and this rack has really made it sooooo much easier for me to separate hair and cuts my time down by a lot. If your a stylist and/or do your hair yourself you need this rack!

Pros
  • Fits a variety of thread types and sizes
Cons
  • The holder may not be able to hold spools of a certain weight

This takes up too much space sitting on the table. I decided to hang it on my wall instead. It doesn't come with hardware for hanging on the wall so I kind of had to rig it and I never was able to get it to hang straight. If this came with hardware for hanging it already attached it would probably be the perfect little thread holder. It is well made and I haven't had any problems with loose dowels or anything else.

Pros
  • Designed for easy assembly and disassembly
Cons
  • Not versatile enough to accommodate different types of thread or needles

I bought this to hang jewelry on. It says in can be wall mounted, which is technically true, but it does NOT come with any hardware to mount it. I bought a picture hanging kit and attached hangers to the back. Otherwise, it works great for organizing my necklaces.

Pros
  • Made from durable hardwood for long-lasting use
Cons
  • The rack may not fit in standard storage spaces

Good Purchase for my opinion

It is a great spool holder for small to medium thread spools. It is not too bulky and can be painted the color of your choice and hung on the wall or it can stand alone on the floor. I would recommend it to others.

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to transport as needed
Cons
  • May not accommodate spools with unique shapes or sizes

thread rack on my review.

I hung these on the wall to hold all my embroidery thread. says they can be hung on the wall but no wall mounts were given. the wood split on it when screwed to the wall. pegs are not glued in so they can fall out. overall serves the purpose.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • The edges of the spool holders are rough and could snag the thread

Meets the need for my opinion

After reading the reviews, I decided to order two of the 120 Spool Thread Racks. Upon receipt, I thought, not too bad, especially for the price. From some of the comments, I had expected junk! I had purchased thread from an on-line store and found that their spools fit perfectly! Yeah! Then I started to fill the second one with spools from a major name-brand manufacturer. Oh, no, I'm having the same problem others are having--the spool dowls are too close together! Even overlapping the bottom…

Pros
  • Helps to keep threads clean and dust-free
Cons
  • The hardwood may splinter or crack if bumped or dropped

Great buy! in my review

I love it! Definitely a good deal for the price. My only comment is that it doesn’t come with a way to hang it on the wall. that’s easily fixed if you tie some string to the top (as I did). If you wanted it on a desk as it comes, the stand is sturdy! Great buy.

Pros
  • Elegant design adds a classic touch to any crafting room or studio
Cons
  • The rack may be too heavy to move around easily

Excellent Product, Happy Buyer!

Fast shipping, very sturdy thread holder, very practical size - will definitely buy a second one (I have LOTS of threads!). Recommend products from Threadart!

Pros
  • Helps to reduce clutter in workspace
Cons
  • The rack may take up too much space on a sewing table

Thisclose to being 5 stars

Can't give this a full 5 stars. It is sturdy, and certainly holds my threads as was intended. But I was looking for something to organize my bobbins wth their corresponding spools, and the pegs are just a little too big for the bobbins to fit. I'm satisfied, but I still need to find something for my bobbins.

Pros
  • Compact size fits easily on any sewing table or workspace
Cons
  • The thread may tangle easily if improperly organized

120 Spool/Cone Wood Thread Rack

This rack has proven to be relatively sturdy and can hold 120 SMALL spools of thread like advertised. However, if you purchase the large spools from Isacord or Poly X for example, they do NOT stay on this rack effectively without many of them falling off when you get a particular color. The prongs on the rack aren't long enough to accommodate the larger spools. When I received this rack a few of the prongs were broken off also. However I think this was a shipping problem rather than the…

Pros
  • Adds an attractive touch to sewing spaces
Cons
  • The wood may warp or split if exposed to high humidity

practical use good for me

The rack was sturdy and made well. My only disappointment was due to a statement in the description which indicated that this could be wall mounted. When I received it I realized there was no such accommodation in design to do this. Since the wall mount feature was important to the person receiving this as a gift, I had to have it modified on my own.

Pros
  • Exactly what expected, perfectly balanced and sturdy.
Cons
  • May not accommodate spools with thicker thread

Disappointed on my review.

I am disappointed with this product because the pegs are too large for my spools of thread. Neither my Mettler nor my Superior Magnifico spools will fit. Way too tight.

Pros
  • Spacious design allows for storage of up to 60 spools and mini-king size cones
Cons
  • May not have enough space for additional sewing accessories

Threadholder on my review.

I think the construction of the thread holder is good. I was disappointed that there were no holes on the back to hang on the wall. I would definitely recommend this item but tell buyers they have to drill holes to hang by.

Pros
  • Highly functional and practical
Cons
  • The spool holders are too closely spaced to accommodate larger spools

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for our use

Item is exactly what we were looking for. We hung the unit on the wall = works great. Problem is we need another and this item has been unavailable. We keep checking on the status weekly.

Pros
  • Woodcrafts
Cons
  • The spool holders are spaced too closely together, making it difficult to remove individual spools
