The Beadsmith Wooden Bead Loom, 12.5” x 13” x 3.5”, Includes Assembly Instructions

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was looking for a large loom. Not only is it like sleeping on your own King mattress-alone, this baby is made of quality materials and is delightful to work with. If you decide loom beading is your jam, do yourself a favor and upgrade to this loom. Compared to the intro looms it is night and day and opens the doors to so many fun project possibilities.

This room is sturdy. Much better than when I purchased prior to this, only thing I think can be approved. Is that it was at an angle to be more comfortable and easier to work.

This loom, as with all of them I've purchased so far, has many "catches" that want to catch your thread as you loom. The screws, the eye hooks, seems like someone with all those years of experience making looms could come up with a better design that doesn't have catch points!! It was easy to assemble. I didn't like that i was supposed to "re- glue the springs" and it doesn't specify what the wooden rods are used for.. inexperienced loomers won't know.

I did have to assemble it and needed pliers to twist in the hooks but I love how sturdy it is. I also like the length so I can make a full bracelet without winding the thread around the bars, I'm a size 6.5 to 7 inch bracelet, but measured and could make up to a size 8.5 without winding the thread. The width is also impressive I haven't done anything very wide but imagine the width is nice for a wall hanging or art piece, the width is about 9.5 inches. The loom itself once assembled is very sturdy which was my biggest issue with my last loom. Its also pretty big so you'll need a bit of table space for it.

Item arrived with a damaged box that looked like it had been opened and taped sloppily back together. It also arrived with NO parts needed for assembly. No screws, hooks, or nuts. Very disappointed in the waste of my time and the hassle of now having to return it. Otherwise, the quality of the loom material itself seems sturdy.

Wife and kids use this to make bracelets with the little beads (sorry, not proficient in bead terminology) they can have 4 or 5 set up at a time. They seem to really like it. The hardest part of assembly was putting the hooks in, I just used a small pair of pliers and went slow so I didn’t bend them.

I’m so happy to have it. I can make beaded tapestries now..

The loom is absolutely wonderful other then the fact it came with coils detached and the wood was all chipped and breaks. This loom is really good if you're starting off with beading!
