This is an attractive thread stand with lots of variety as it holds all sizes of thread spools and cones. What I found difficult was the assembly process. There was no direction - just a photo of the assembled rack on the box. Some of us have orientation issues and would really appreciate some guidance no matter how easy the assembly process needs to be. I found it very frustrating and difficult to attach all the tiny screws and washers to the six shelves. The screws are difficult to keep in place as they are very small. You'll need to find a screwdriver with a fairly small head for it to work. I have osteoarthritis If you buy this and have finger flexibility issues, hire someone else to assemble it and pay them to do their work. I would like to have a second one to finish my thread, but I wouldn't buy one because the disappointment would be too great.
