Needlework Table and Lap Hands-Free Stand Scroll Frame or Hoop Holder Made of Organic Beech Wood Tapestry Cross Stitch Embroidery Frame Holder

Takes a minute to adjust but works great for my scroll frames. Easy to loosen to adjust or tighten to stay still. I wouldn't lean heavily on it but it held up and didn't slowly collapse. Great option for anyone stuck in bed. Can't speak for couch use.

I recently purchased a 29 inch scroll frame for a project. Unfortunately the frame didn't have anything to help it stand so I had to purchase this stand. I don't regret it in the slightest, the stand is such a great help for keeping my projects elevated for easier work. The only reason I removed a star is because the joints don't hold for long. I have to adjust it and tighten the bolts every once in a while which can be a hastle.

I was looking for a table needlework frame and decided to give this one a try when it came up as a Warehouse Deal. I didn't want the typical clamp style frame, but rather one that has arms that you rest your needlework frame on. This one seemed to be everything I was looking for.I've been using this frame for almost a month now and just love it. It fits my main requirements beautifully. It just barely fits on top of my corner style computer desk. I push it back when I need the front of the desk to do paperwork, and pull it forward when I'm ready to continue stitching. Because of the height of the desk top, folding the only cross bar down so that it rests on the frame feet supports gives me the perfect stability and working height that I need when stitching.This frame is beautifully constructed with smooth wood components, wood knobs for ease in adjusting, and plenty of adjustment options with holes on the upper side arms, the cross bar, and the extension arms. I fiddled around with it quite a bit to get just the perfect setup for me.I don't know how well it work as a lap frame since I don't intend to use it that way. For those using it as a lap frame, the distance between the feet supports is 19.75".If you use it as a table frame, the width without knobs is 21" and with knobs its 22.25" wide.The only suggested improvement would be if it also came with a shorter cross bar so that it would take up less space as a table frame. Other than that, I love it as it is.When I decided to finally write a review on this frame, I was dismayed to see that it is not currently available. I hope that it comes back again some day for those stitchers who have the same needs as I do. I just count my blessings that I was able to purchase this one when I did.

UPDATE: I tried it again and put in a new order. Exact same issue. Very disappointed.I couldn't put it together because it was made incorrectly. The wooden base (A) does not have a groove for piece B to slide in to attach. Reading other comments above, it appears I am not the only one this has happened to. Thinking of trying to order another one but don't want to waste my time returning it if it happens again. So disappointed. Piece A is also the only piece actually marked with the letter on the wood. Wondering if it was boxed incorrectly using pieces from a different stand.

Best investment I’ve made for my Crosstitch stuff. I would recommend it to anyone.

While the instructions were less than helpful (very much like IKEA instructions in that there were no words other than what the parts were called), overall construction was relatively easy to put together. My chief complaints are that the screws frequently slip loose, forcing me to either choose stability and lose the ability to adjust the height of the frame, or choose the ability to adjust the frame and have it constantly move on me. It also does not fit my scroll frame particularly well, but my scroll frame is rather old and an odd length. A possible improvement that I may add later is drilling another hole onto the pieces holding my hoop so that I can move my hoop up a bit higher to avoid hunching my shoulders (which was the main reason I bought this frame). It also does not work particularly well for really small hoops less than about 5". Honestly, I would not have paid nearly $50 for this had I known it wouldn't hold its position very well.

This is the best needlework frame holder I have used. I love it! I had to stop cross stitching because of painful arthritis in my left hand, the hand I hold my scroll frames and Q-snaps in to cross stitch. I couldn't stitch more than 10 minutes without shooting pains in my left hand. Now with this needlework frame holder, I can stitch for several hours because it allows me to stitch hands free. Everything in it is adjustable to fit exactly where I want it and use with different size frames. I can move the arms inward or outward to accommodate different size scroll frames and Q-snaps and adjust the height of the arms for how close I want it to be. All I have to do is flip my needlework over to secure the threads on the back and then flip it over again to start stitching again. This is what I've been looking for so I could stitch hands free, and the free shipping with prime sold me. Best needlework gift to me ever!

The instructions were not very helpful. I had to pull up the pictures on Amazon to help figure out how to put it together. Also, the bolts have a square head but the holes are round and not made for that so they aren't flush. However it does what it is meant to do and seems sturdy enough.
