Paint Stand, Organiser for Paint Bottles and Brushes, Easy Assembly Display for 52 x 18 ml and 8 x 35 ml or 60 ml Bottles, Ideal for Modelling and Miniatures

Very nice, quality paint stand from the Vallejo house. Easy to build, and quite strong once it is constructed. While it does state that you don't need glue, and you don't as it does fit tightly together I would recommend you glue the primary edges. Unless of course you intend dismantling this between uses.The paint pots from the Vallejo collection fit into this perfectly, and it is easy to place and remove pots from the racks. The holes at the back on the top and middle shelf are there to hold brushes and small tools. Be aware that there is no base piece for this, so anything you put in those holes will fall through should you pick it up - if the barrel isn't large enough to wedge in it. As such, you might want to either add a small piece to the back to support anything you put in these, such as slim paint brushes, or put it in a permanent place on your workstation. Small wooden pegs are provided to join this to other pieces in the Vallejo stand family, and they are strong enough to hold the units together, but not strong enough to support them if you try to pick up joined stands.Build quality is excellent, all the pieces are cut cleanly and all the holes are formed well. The pegs used to connect the pieces fit tightly into their respective holes and sections, though I would still recommend using a small amount of glue to fix these rather than relying on friction alone.

Very pleased with my purchase, perfect for organising your paints and keeping your workspace tidy. I do have a few complaints however;1) Very fiddly to put together, the pre-cut assembly holes are very tight, to the point the wood was flexing quite severely as I tried to slot the different parts together, to be fair the pieces did all hold up to the strain, but I was worried about breakages.2) The holes for your paintbrushes are quite small, and over half of my brushes do not fit. True, paintbrushes come in all shapes and sizes, so it would be unreasonable to expect it to hold all types of brush, however I was really sad to find that not a single of my Vallejo brushes (due to their triangular shape) were compatible with the stand, if any brushes were going to fit, you would expect it to be those.3) Despite the tight holes, it is not particularly stable once assembled, and you will definitely need a little woodglue to hold it all together once assembled, especially if you plan to move it around.

Once I had managed to put it together this turned out to be a really excellent stand for Vallejo paints and other bits and bobs such as brushes and any pots or bottles with a bigger diameter than the paints themselves.I found it quite difficult to put together, though. Each "shelf" has lugs on the end that slot into recesses in the end sections. But I found that, for the most part, these were fractionally too big and, if forced, the cream veneer on the shelves tended to pull away from the wood. I found that a slight amount of filing was necessary to get the lugs to slot in easily and then I glued all the joints to ensure a good strong and sturdy paint stand.I am really pleased with it, but it would have been better to make the joints a bit easier to put together, but then advise gluing as easier joints might leave it less sturdy. The claim is that glue is not needed is probably right if you mange to get the joints to fit.One other thing that I know has been mentioned in other reviews. The holes for paint brushes on the back of the stand are a great idea, but if the paint brush handle is thin enough to fit in these holes (which 90% of my paint brushes are not sadly) then if you pick the stand up the brushes simply fall out the bottom. You really do have to question the thinking of whoever designed this, as it is such a fundamentally basic design flaw. Perhaps the assumption is that the stands are meant to be fixed permanently in one place. It is also annoying that the holes are not quite big enough for the brushes I use. Slightly larger holes and an extra shelf at the back under the brushes section would have made this stand almost perfect.PS What does "sheerness" mean. I have not given a star for sheerness because I don't know what it means.

arrived in good time, a little tricky putting together but no real problem, fits well when assembled, a bit sturdier than it looks. It may not be necessary but I added a little bit of glue to the joints as a 'just in case'. Happy enough with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking to store their paints neatly.

Practical points - 1) it is not "91cm" wide like the listing says - that was always ridiculous. It's actually 34cm. 2) Mine needed glue to stay together. Others report differently so it probably depends on batch, but there was no way this was going to stand up without it. A little white/wood glue was enough.In general this is a nice efficient little stand, and good value for the price. Good that it has a few large-bottle holes. The paint brush holes are ok but, as others have commented, there's no bottom support so they only work while the stand is on a table. I might just make a wood strip to provide support for them.

This is a nice clean laser cut, easy to put together MDF paint rack, and despite other reviews saying it was a little flimsy, once it is together it's quite solid. I would strongly advise a few blobs of wood glue on the tabs however, as although it fits together snugly, I wouldn't try and move it once it had a load of paint bottles in the holes. And so I come to the design 'flaw' as I see it, and why, for me, I had to knock off two stars. There are cut outs at either end of this rack which suggest ideal 'handholds' to be able to pick the rack up, complete with all the paints in place, and move it to another room/table whatever. So far so good, and quite useful I'd say. But if you had chosen to use the paint brush holes to store your brushes, then picking the rack up would mean all your brushes would simply fall out! The addition of another strip of 3mm MDF to support/stop the brushes falling out would not have made the production of this product any more expensive or difficult to put together. If this rack will never be moved from its place on your paint table then it's great - but c'mon designers, really, don't add 'hand holds' suggesting carry-ability and then when you pick it up, your expensive Kolinsky sable brushes fall over the floor. Luckily I discovered this flaw, as I was gluing my rack together, so hopefully this review will pre-warn others.

Modellers love a challenge.Tell them something is really tricky and the're right on it.Yes, it is a tight fit , but with a bit of filing here and some shaving there, plus a light tap with a sledge hammer -only joking - a rubber faced mallet - and that's another model completed - Brilliant!One gets such a feeling of accomplishment afterwards and let's face it, no matter how many paint bottle stands one has, there are never enough and this is a high quality product.To be fair to Vallejo, the paint brush holes are 2 sized, with the larger hole on top, so that should solve the problem with brushes having a wide middle , but, I agree, not for the thinnest ones which would slide through if the stand is moved.As has been suggested, gluing a piece of cardboard to the base will create a solution and also, I have found, 2 useful slots for, say a small notebook, decals etc. I cut out the fronts of the smaller model boxes and store them there to remind me of the finished article, even though I never achieve it.I can see why this is an Amazon recommended product.

The stand requires no screws or glue. It holds 17 ml bottles fine, and the top row holds the bulkier citadel paint bottles. The very back row has room for pencils, but it's pretty much touch-and-go whether they'll fit. Some fitted fine and didn't fall through the bottom gap. Some do, leaving only the brush visible. Some of the newer ergonomic brushes are too broad to fit. I managed to fit all the bottles from the DnD starter painting set and the monster set just fine, but any expansion of paint bottles would require another purchase of these - which would be a pleasure. You can keep your own (il)logical ordening system of paints, but it takes up a lot less space on a table or desk than just putting them all together in rows without a stand. Because they're 'stacked' in height, it's far easier to quickly read a label, and the top bit of the 17 ml bottles is visible even on the back rows so you can see the colours easily.

This is an easy-to-assemble shelf made of lightweight wood and appears to have been laser cut. It's pretty efficient in that it holds a lot of paints but doesn't take up a ton of space. The only downside is if you're planning on picking it up and moving it, you may find it comes apart slightly if you aren't careful about how you hold it. Highly recommended.

Facile à monter, pratique pour le rangement des peintures vallejo

Fijne standaard. Eenvoudig in elkaar te zetten.

Ho comprato questo prodotto per sistemare dei colori che tenevo in contenitori "scomodi" ed è stato un ottimo acquisto. Capiente, stabile ed il montaggio è di una semplicità praticamente infantile, nn richiede ne colla ne alcun tipo di fissaggio, solo semplici incastri. Tutti i colori son ben visibili e lo spazio è contenuto, davvero son molto contento dell'acquisto. Consigliatissimo.
