Cheap Fox Run 10-Inch Plate Stand, Black

Fox Run 10-Inch Plate Stand, Black
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I just received the plate stand and it is not symmetric--one side is longer, so it does not stay up straight.

It looked as I was expecting, and was a good price, but the quality is not there. I could not count on this rickety plate stand to hold anything of value as I am sure it will tip complete over once there is weight on it.

I hope I can get a refund but I am not pleased with the quality of this product.

I ordered wooden plate holders, I got wooden plate holders. Not much to review. You stand them up, put your plates on them and voila. Good product for the price.

I had two collectable plates that I needed stands for and was able to find these through Amazon. They were really priced right and great quality. Plus they came quickly and were packaged well.

Honest reviews on Fox Run 10-Inch Plate Stand, Black

I bought this to display a fancy cutting board in my kitchen.

However, the stand wont stand up on its own.

And even when I put the cutting board on it, it still closes and then collapses.

I tried putting a cook book on the stand, with the same results -failure!

I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this one.

I looked at a number of different wooden plate stand and this one is good for the value. It's not cheap and thin like some of the other available on the market. You pay for what you get.

I don't know why these are so hard to find in the sewing stores, but they are a big improvement over trying to get safety pins through an elastic casing. Anyone looking for a nifty gift for a sewing enthusiast should consider these handy bodkins.

I didn't know this item existed until I started searching for an easier way to thread elastic through my grandkids' shorts casings. What a clever gadget and I received two different kinds to boot. You can also use it to push the corners out when inverting a pillow case. (But use cotton swabs for your ears!)

I wished I had this tool every time I needed to restring a pair of sweat pants! It wasn't until I began sewing that I learned there was a tool like this out there. It's not perfect, you still end up fighting with wads of fabric, but it's SO MUCH EASIER than doing it by hand. A longer stem would be helpful, but this does the job.

Honest reviews on Clover Bodkin, 2 types

How many times, while trying to coax elastic through a casing, have I had a safety pin come open, snagging the fabric and refusing to come back out without a fight? More than I care to count, that's how many times.

I'm not a seamstress by any stretch, and end up learning about things the hard way. It's been years since I needed to perform the elastic-through-channels maneuver, and I was dreading it. I was just clicking around and saw this item. I read the description and ordered without hesitation. I had to be patient, because the order arrived without this item, but Amazon replaced it, and I have a new best friend! (Forgive the hyperbole.) I didn't even use it right the first few times -I didn't realize that the larger one comes apart, and a pair of "claws" holds the elastic -and I loved it anyway. Now that I actually read the directions, I will never be without one of these.

I bought these because I like gadgets, especially classic sewing ones. I've only used the bodkin for wide elastic. After years of using a safety pin, I have to say a bodkin is much easier. Not necessary, but nice. Now i just have to find a spot where I always keep it because it would be easy to lose. I almost never use the very narrow elastic or round stuff, but the design of that one looks very good.

I bought this kit for painting 4" street numbers on my curb, and it fits perfectly. The numbers are stiff and durable, and can be cleaned with paint thinner. They need to be held down if the surface is irregular, and be prepared to touch up the numbers if you use a brush.

I bought this specifically to use to spray paint numbers on street curb. Well, it is not designed for that purpose; plastic doesn't bend or stay bent on curved surface. You can use it to create stencil on paper where this has contact with paper on flat surface. If you do really really want this because if does have nice font, you can use it to stencil your house numbers on a 81/2 x 14 sheet of card stock, then cut out the stencil area and use that card stock to paint numbers on the curb. Very thick and sturdy product.

I got these for leather work and initially thought that they would be too small but found a use for them when I needed to set some rivets. The knurling is rather rough and they are small, very small. The largest punch is rather rough at the sharp end. I'll need to sharpen before I use that one.

But for what they are they are pretty good.

These punches came to me in a very dull state. I can't sharpen them so I'll call it a loss.

The pictures of this set made me think that at least the box was a nice wooden one with a felt interior. However, when it arrived I learned that the box, locks, and handle are flimsy... and the black interior is a very thin plastic insert that falls out if you're not careful. The brushes and paints are mediocre at best. I wasn't looking for something lavish with a 39.99 price tag, but I would have thought there'd be something of a "gift set" appeal... I guess I was wrong.

I bought this kit because it came with brushes and a good selection of acrylic paints. The brushes were great and a good quality, I had more options than I needed. I also liked the colors it came with. I just blended multiple colors together to get the exact color I wanted. I did have to buy an extra white paint from a store because I ran out. The tubes are small, but it's enough to get you started.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I bought a set of these several years ago along with a different brand that turned out to be some generic no name product, but that's not what I'm talking about in this review. I am just now returning to see if these were still available and I'm glad they are. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised at how vibrant and rich these colors are. You don't have to use a lot of product to get bright, vivid results. I've used several other brands, mainly the cheap stuff, and I find a lot of them look beautiful when you first apply the paint but after it dries it turns into a dusty, chalky mess. I'm happy to report that that does not happen with this brand. The colors stay bright and lively for years.

The one issue I've had is that a few of the tubes aren't properly sealed at the bottom and it causes the paint to dry up. It's not such a big deal with watercolors because you can just peel off the tube and use the paint the same way you would use a watercolor cake, but still. I docked one point for that.

These paint brushes are ok, not really great, but ok for the crafts I paint.

The price was really good, $ 3.96, I think they are $ 3.52 now. and free shipping so I can't complain .

I have bought better brushes at walmart, but not for this price. Like I said since they were priced cheep this is a good buy, I would not pay more for these brushes though. The brissels were not as smooth as some paint brushes, ok for crafts, yard animals and things like that.

This works okay but you need to do a test stamp first to make sure the stamp doesn't leave outline marks. Depends on the stamp. The big one can fit 2 on at the same time. I stamp a lot of images and then color them later. Haven't found a use for the long narrow one yet.

For the person on your gift list who adores cats and kittens looking for a bit of relaxing creativity, this is the perfect gift.

This is a fairly large picture to complete (15 1/4" x 11 1/4") and the montage of cats is really nice.

It would be nice to have an additional brush, but that isn't really a big issue if the montage appeals to you (and it is really cute.)

This is a nice, reasonably priced arts and crafts item for yourself or a friend. (NOT for very young kids, however.)

My daughter is an art major at Towson University and needed quality colored pencils for her art project assignments. She says these are the best and loves them. Not being an artist, I have no comment of my own other than what she tells me. All I can say is you won't be disappointed in the quality. They aren't cheap but I guess in this arena, you get what you pay for.

Arguably one of the best sets you can buy. These are oil based instead of wax based so they don't sweat wax afterwards. They react well to solvents for smoothing the coverage and seem to need significantly less sharpening than wax based pencils
