EISCO Test Tube Rack, 9 Inch - 12 Tube Capacity - Wooden, Beechwood

Like other reviewers I use this rack to hold my inked fountain pens and it's excellent for that. The wood & the finish are both good quality & attractive and this rack, like the other Eisco products I've purchased, is well-constructed & sturdy. It's an excellent value-for-money purchase for holding test tubes or any slender objects you use or collect (pens, razors, pencils, art brushes, test tubes of spices, & so on).This would be my go-to wooden rack if not for the other style of wood test tube racks made by Eisco & sold by Amazon ("Eisco Labs Premium Wooden Test Tube Rack, (6) 22mm Holes" & "Eisco Labs Premium Wooden Test Tube Rack, (12) 22mm Holes") which are a bit more vintage-looking with attractively lathed & shaped end pieces. This rack is a good-looking piece but has cleaner, more modern, simple design lines & I prefer a more vintage-looking holder for my pens. As with everything, it all comes down to the style you prefer. ;)

I bought this to hold my fountain pens, for which it works perfectly, looks good, and costs considerably less than stands made for that purpose. One caveat: unless you own some unusually fat pens, get the smallest of the three sizes.

Yep, I'm a dork...I got this thing as a fountain pen stand, when I was sick of having my nice expensive fountain pen collection stuck in a pen cup on my desk. (By "expensive", I mean pens that cost in the ballpark of $40-$75 bucks; not, like, for $200+ pens; not to worry.) It looks great sitting on my desk top, for some reason, as a pen holder rather than a test tube rack. :-) Construction is solid and there's no glue clumps sticking out, scratches, tool marks, or anything like that.

Rack is fine. It does what it is suppose to do.On a side note, I bought 16mm x 150mm test tubes for this stand. I should have bought wider test tubes because the 16mm ones move around a lot and knock over the others in this stand and it annoys my super OCD self. Just putting that info out there for people like me.

This is my third purchase of this item. They are solidly built. I modify them by wrapping yarn around the sides to hold my crochet hooks. Excellent product.

Using as a stand for my expensive crochet hooks and it works perfectly. Furls hooks fit perfectly and this reach is much cheaper than other crochet hook racks that are made exactly the same

Eisco Labs Wood Test Tube Rack, 12 Tube Capacity, 7/8" (22mm) Holes I ordered this test tube rack for my business, which is alpaca ranching. How could this be used for that business, you may ask? Well, we have to do some herd health tests routinely, and this is called fecals. Yes, you may guess what that is at this point.I needed something sturdy to hold the test tubes in because I have to let the fecals stay in the test tubes overnight. This test tube rack is sturdy, has the rounded groove at the bottom so the test tubes are "cupped" and don't wobble around much.I ordered tall test tubes, and I would order shorter test tubes next time, but this rack can hold either size nicely.

While the rack itself is sturdy and does the job of holding tubes, the indentations at the bottom are not deep enough to provide any stability for the test tubes. Any small bump to the rack and the test tubes slide out from the bottom.

Does was it suppose to do.Ended up not needing it, but. Quality is sound and looks good.

Molto carino ma non bene incollato. Misure corrette e ben disegnato per non far scivolare le mie provette in vetro.

Some dice sets come in plastic tubes, I wanted to get a display for my husband's dice for his birthday, and unfortunately the holes are too small. However he did have fun finding another use for it, so not a complete waste. Though I'm not sure if letting me use it for my white board markers is fair.

This item arrived almost a month after I ordered it. The packing slip sleeve had been opened, the outer box looked like it had been rifled, the inner box was opened. None of this was a manufacturers fault but the joinery was loose and wiggly and there were scuff marks on the wood. It's too much of a pain to return it but I really wish I hadn't ordered it.
