It's almost impossible for me to keep my sewing area organized. And getting boxes and bins of thread in and out of closets is annoying. This helps a LOT. It doesn't hold my whole collection of threads but it holds enough to have most of the colors represented for quick access. It doesn't take up too much room...and its actually attractive with all the colored threads on it. It really helps keep my sewing area a little bit neater. If I had room, I'd get another one.
