Kromski Harp Forte Rigid Heddle Loom Floor Stand - 80 cm / 32 in

Sturdy and attractive but design needs work

This is a sturdy stand for the harp forte and is visually very attractive. My only complaint is the support arms don’t seem to line up properly with the sides of the loom (too wide) and the bolt kinda gets in the way of the heddle if you have the wing nuts to the inside. You can fix that by turning them outwards, it just doesn’t look as good. That being said, it seems to be a strong stand… I use my feet to push on it while beating with the reed. Overall I’m happy and would recommend this stand, especially if you have one of the bigger looms.

Love this floor loom stand!

Breakdown of Review: *Floor Loom Design-5 stars *Product Quality Control & Instructions-4 stars *Revolution Fibers Customer Service -5 stars ======================================= Overall Assessment-5 stars Had a problem with one leg pole fitting into the leg base hole (the pole end was too big for the hole), but Revolution Fibers proactively fixed the situation and got another one sent. Kromski provided a return label for the original one so we could send it back and life was good again. We didn’t like the instructions since it primarily is picture based. It was difficult to determine which hole in the loom should be used for the loom leg to connect to. Due to the double heddle holder on the loom, the picture didn’t appear to match the hole that was available. I am guessing they use the same picture instructions for all loom stands and the smaller ones may only have a single heddle holder. So those were the downers, now the good parts (which outweigh the downers by far). The beautiful walnut floor loom stand really stepped up the utility and the overall appearance of the loom. The design enables you to set the angle of the loom and I didn’t realize all of the extra holes in the stand were for storing the warping poles. What a creative design since it then creates places to put things on, like the shuttle, when not in use. Since I saw this in the picture and write-up here (and not in the instructions), we will have to flip the side pieces for it to have this capability (we put it together with the holes facing the inside). The loom stand was particularly important for me so I could use my loom more effectively. It enables me to leave my project out without requiring or losing any table space. The stand is critical when warping and will have to look into figuring out how to use the loom (underside) as a warping board. Weaving while on the stand seems faster and streamlined. It looks really good on the stand—like a gorgeous piece of furniture. Beautiful. Fabulous design and Fun. Go on and get one. You won’t be sorry you did.
