Winsome 94326 Wood Quilt Rack With 6 Rungs, Antique Walnut

This was very easy to assemble. We have it at the foot of our bed and it is quite sturdy. I have quilts, robes and sometimes add pillows on top. Looks very nice and I appreciate that it organized my clutter!

The cost of folding pipe metal saddle stands has gotten exorbitant. I found this quilt stand as an alternative, and from the reviews, saw that others were using it for much heavier tack than I needed it for. It works really well for my kid’s little Wintec leadline saddle and the pads and girth, as well as her helmet. We are uncouth horse people, and it lives in our dining room. I think it looks nice! It is not sturdy enough to sit on the saddle while it is stored on it, as you can with some stands, but it is definitely sturdy enough for storage - even beyond this generation of her tack, which she will outgrow. As has been mentioned, it was a pain to assemble; however, if you lay one curved end flat on the floor with the screws started and the dowels oriented vertically, then place the other curved side on top of them, it is much easier. I did it myself without extra hands, and it took 15-20 minutes, because I was also helping the kid with a book report. This was a good buy.

I’ll start by saying I love the stand. This issue was putting it together. They send a hex wrench and it was impossible to get the screws in with this little wrench. It was almost impossible with an electric screw driver. In addition, there was no way I could have put it together alone. My husband had to help me and he had to use an electric screw driver with force and I held the rod to keep it from turning. The two middle rods were not screwed in, they were wedged in slots and once the other rods were tightened really good, they would stay. But like I said it was not an easy project. But once together, I do love the stand. If you get one, plan on having at least two people and one strong one to put the screws in.

It's a nice little quilt rack for the price. It was a bit time consuming to assemble, not because it was hard to figure out, but because not all the holes were drilled properly so it took a lot of elbow grease. It's not perfectly level after I assembled it so it does wobble a tiny bit when removing heavy quilts.I'm currently using it just for wall hangings, table runners, and one lap quilt at the moment.I love the color and the style. But again, if you want something super sturdy that can hold heavy queen size or king size quilts and looks fancier, this probably isn't your quilt rack.

Assembly instructions were easy to follow. All parts were included- those are the nicest things I can say about this supposed sturdy quilt rack. I am strong and good at assembling things. However, no matter how I tightened screws ( without over tightening), the center rails fell off ( whose disastrous design idea was it to not have these rails screwed on?). As I assembled, I noticed scratches in the finish and places where the clear coat was starting to flake. Ugly! I had to pound the screw covers with a rubber mallet to get them to stay on. But I imagine my cats will be playing with them when they fall off. If you want advice- save up some money and purchase a sturdy quilt rack in Amish country.

If I had tried to use the included Allen wrench to assemble this blanket rack I would have rated it zero stars but I used an impact driver, an extra set of hands and honestly pure spite to put it together. It didn’t take long. Loosely tighten the dowels on one side, set the assembled portion on end then fit the other side and screw in the opposite end of the dowels. I then set the whole thing upright to check for levelness and fully tighten the screws. It has a wicked wobble. I loosened and retightened the screws several times and the rack can be loose and level or tight and warped. Take your pick. I will need to level it somehow with felt. I’m using this as an extra saddle rack in a small space and it is sturdy enough for my purposes even with the wobble.

Looks just like photo. Beautiful.

I needed a rack to hold some larger, random pieces of leather to store them between leather working projects. saw some people using this rack for saddles, so I figured it would hold up to the weight of multiple layers of leather (which it is more than able to do so).I saw some people mentioning difficulty in assembly. And there are some potential tight spots to be sure.This is how I did it:There are six rungs/bars on the stand. The top two and the bottom two have predrilled holes. The middle two (without holes) are held in place by the pressure of the sides (without screws).The predrilled holes are too small for the provided screws. I took a 7/32 drill bit and widened the holes on the four predrilled rungs.I started at the top and put the top two rungs in place but did not tighten their screws completely yet. I repeated the process with the lower two rungs and left them almost, but not completely, tightened. Then I slipped the middle two rungs in place before tightening all of the screws.I can definitely see the difficulty in tightening everything down if you used the existing screws in the predrilled holes.Happy with the product for my needs, and after those slight modifications, there was no issue with assembly.
