The "Sew All" version of this is 100 spools of polyester thread 110 yards in each spool so it is the normal size Gutermann thread spool. Normally, those spools would retail for about $1.80 each (full retail). There are other "100 spool in-home assortments" that contain (a) all 100% natural cotton, (b) all silk threads, (c) all embroidery etc. I bought the Sew All version at a fabric store today with a 40% off coupon, paying less $1/spool.While that is a great per spool price, the cabinet it comes in is what sealed the deal for me. It appears to be a very sturdy frame (could even be wood), with a heavy duty "drawer pull" handle on the top. The handle allows for easy carrying (it isn't too heavy) and it will stand on its own on a table or floor. No wall mounting devices are included, although it certainly could be mounted on a wall. Each thread slot is labeled with the thread number and holds up to 3 spools per slot, so you could store up to 300 Gutermann (small) spools in this cabinet.
So if you have a lot of Gutermann thread this is a great buy from a thread storage perspective too. The slots will not take the bigger Guntermann spools, although the plastic is flexible enough that you could try, but probably isn't worth trying if you break the plastic. The plastic is very flexible and I expect it will last a long time.
The thread is made in Germany (naturally!) and the cabinet is made in Mexico. I could not believe how sturdy the cabinet is not the junk that you usually see, that is for sure! I am very pleased to have noticed this item, because now, in a pinch, I'll always a have a color that is "close enough' without having to worry if the store is open, stand in line to pay etc.
I love this!
