I love the concept, but it can be cumbersome to load with project and advance project. The bolts tend to strip have had to replace them. Caution while using on a couch, etcthe bolts will rip your furniture, recommend wrapping the feet if using on furniture. Been using for over a year with a few modifications it works quite well.

I've finished a few projects on this. It's very comfortable and can accommodate many different sized projects. The only problem is there is one wing nut that seems to constantly need tightening.

My daughter uses it for her larger cross stitch projects. She likes that she has her hands free . She dislikes how it is slightly difficult to maneuver to a new section.

This frame is really a no-brainer, but I needed something inexpensive, quick to assemble and easy to use. It took I and my caregiver over an hour to get it together. I used to work at Michaels Arts and Crafts and was head of the stitchery department, and from going to needlework fairs where everything from soup to nuts was sold. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost bits and pieces of three frames. Just having to buy a fourth one didn't put any smiles on my face. You know the old saw - you get what you pay for. Whether I will use it again after this project, I don't know, so really didn't want to spend a lot of money on a really good frame. If I find myself really getting back into it, then I will go for a stronger frame. It takes four hands to put it together. It also takes that many hands to hold the frame and stitch at the same time.

It was easy to put together, and the height/width is good, but its not terribly sturdy, could use some reinforcement of some kind.

The frame itself is great, good quality wood, well designed. Only issue I had was that half the wing nuts included to secure the bolts were faulty, which in a frame like this means you can't tension the fabric properly. The bolts are also a slightly uncommon gauge (10-32) making it tough to locate good replacements for the wing nuts. $3 worth of hardware solved the problem but still frustrating to get such cheap hardware with the quality wood frame.

Was very easy to assemble. Is quite sturdy yet light.

You will have to replace the bolts and wing nuts. They are awful. Otherwise works great.

I really love this frame. I use for my cross stitch, and, as a basic newbie, I wondernif perhaps my DISLIKE of the frame is operator error. You see, it fails to hold the cloth tight, and I find myself constantly tightening the scroll. This also occasionally hppened with my smaller hoops, so again...not sure if it's just me or the product. Other than that, I love how it is adjustable width and height, and can be used while sitting in a chair or sofa ( although it doesn't work on extremely cushy sofas...it needs a firmer surface I have found) I also have been using it on a table...and that is my favorite spot so far. Better lighting at my craft table . It is made of pine wood however, so when you tighten the screws it sinks a bit...line being such a soft wood. I plan on giving it all a light coat of poly when I am in between projects ( NOT the dowels that hold the cloth! Just the braces that TIGHTEN to see of that helps) ...All in all a decent purchase for the money..and I would recommend and or buy again.

This is a great product to have when doing cross stitch, especially the larger images. It is easy to use and set up, as well. I took about 10-15 minutes overall to get the frame set up with the cross stitch fabric on it. This type of frame is a great improvement to a hoop, since it lets you work on more of the pattern without having to undo and redo the hoop. And when you are done with a section, it is easy to roll the fabric to a new section to work on.The only real draw back that I have with this product are the screws and wing nuts that were included for the assembly of the frame. It seems to me that the wing nuts are a size too big for the included screws, which makes it difficult to maintain the desired tautness when working. I am planning a visit to the hardware store to see if I can get new wing nuts and/or screws to fix this issue.Overall, I would recommend this product. The way the dowel rods, that hold the fabric, are slit along one side makes it super easy to use. The frame has made my life way easier than dealing with hoops that don't want to stay in place when trying to tighten them down on the fabric.

I found that it came with all the pieces but as you would expect it is wood so after awhile the wood tends to loose it's tension. Easy fix i just taped edges to rods then turned. I found the lapstand a little cumbersome so I am just using the frame. The stand is adjustable s that is a plus.

Works as expected. Not very sturdy
