Review on Sturdy Hardwood Thread Rack - Holds 60 Spools & Mini-King Size Cones For Sewing, Embroidery, Quilting & More! by Brady Shayotovich

Revainrating 3 out of 5

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 my son-in-law to try to reinforce the brace somehow; otherwise I think i might walk in one day and find it collapsed with spools of thread everywhere. I will keep it because I haven't seen anything else like it, but a bit larger and stronger would be much better.

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