I bought this holder because I didn't want a cheap plastic one-- I needed a solid holder that didn't skip around and was tall enough to accommodate taller cones of thread. It is very solid and very well made, a good step up from a plastic holder I was using before, and heavy. The arm securely attaches with a screw to one side and there's screw holes in the cast iron on either side.

I would have liked to give this product higher ratings if not for a couple of things that would have been a lot better. First, the metal pole in the middle of the holder is not attached to the base at all and does not attach to the holder in any fashion. The base just has a hole in the bottom for the pole and I've read other reviewers saying they've had trouble fitting the bar into the hole-- mine does not fit into that hole at all, it just hovers loosely on top and does not feel like it helps the spool. For a product of this quality, I would have liked the pole to screw onto the base or attach with more security. Second, the product itself did not come with any sort of guide or instruction- I would have liked at least a diagram and/or contact information of the manufacturers (especially with my problem with the metal bar)

Overall, I would recommend this product if someone is looking for a solid, heavy thread holder but the problems with the metal bar prevent me from giving this product all five stars.

This got rave reviews here on amazon so I bought it, but I could be happier. I'd like to give it 3.5 stars. I decided to round down because I probably would choose a different one after having used it.

The Good: It has a nice heavy base and is nice and tall. The base has an indentation (like a well) where your cone of thread can sit comfortably without sliding. It feeds nicely and fluently with either of my sewing machines. I have found it helpful at preventing snags and tension issues.

The Bad: The pieces don't stay together well. I should really say they don't stay together at all if you move it. If it is stationary they stay together and function just fine. There is one screw that holds the large stem in place and I wasn't able to tighten it all the way so it is a little wobbly and pulls out if you try to lift it from this stem because the base is pretty heavy. The pin that you put your thread on has literally no attachment to the base. It is just a small metal bar that sits in a hole in the middle of the well. This means that if you lift the base up the pin will go out the bottom. I was surprised by this. I find this to be a very negative feature..it seems like it was preventable when constructing it. Anytime I want to move this, I pick it up and it falls apart. I'm forced to slide it across the table instead of lifting it to prevent it from separating. I just find this annoying, I don't want metal bits rolling around for my cats to find. I'm constantly working on different things and wish it was easier to take in and out of rotation.

I have a small machine that I can easily take with me for classes, etc. I'll be going to quilt camp soon, and I needed to solve a problem. My machine has a horizontal thread spool, which doesn't work very well. I have problems with tension and thread tangling. So I found this stand, and my troubles are solved.

Not without some modifications, though. The heavy base is a plus for me because I hate flimsy. One person mentioned the screw to tighten the tall loop. I found it's best to remove the set screw, then put the loop in the opening. Then install the set screw and tighten with a Phillips screw driver. It's very secure now. The problem of the middle pin meant a trip to a hardware store to look at the machine screws. I found that a 10/32 x3" screw does the trick. thread the screw from the bottom, and secure at the base with a flat washer and nut. Tighten the nut using a screw driver. This provides a sturdy pin for spools. For cones, I can use the plastic cone parts that came with mr serger to stabilize the cone. If you can find a longer screw it would work even better, but 3" was the max I could find.

I love this thread stand. No more thread tangles, no more thread wrapped around the pin on the machine. One less thing to worry about when sewing or embroidering. Sturdy construction assures that it won't tip over during use.
I gave it 4 stars because the base is poorly cast, but it does not interfere with its operation.

The ordered material arrived on time, but the spool holder peg does not fit in the hole. I have tried it every way and it is too big for the hole.

This is an excellent quality thread stand. VERY HEAVY Cast Iron base plate which is 4 1/2 inches in diameter and the metal thread rod is 14 1/2 inches high and approx 1/4 inch diameter and it screws into the outer rim of the cast iron plate. The metal rod that goes into the center of the base plate is 3 1/2 inches high and is made the same as the long thread rod so every part of the stand is excellent quality. The weight of the stand is 1 lb 5.6 oz. However the center rod will need to be hammered in. It will hold any spool of thread that is 4 inches or less in diameter but does not hold the spool firmly in place. I have no issues with that because the center rod is high enough to prevent the spool from tipping over. The stand sits solid on a flat surface and does not shake or rock side to side like the other cheaply made plastic thread stands.
