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.
