(Not like I have 50 of these wrenches already around the house) lol Tightening of the one and only screw is done with an Allen wrench. Two small wood dowels fit into predrilled holes to keep the base and rack in place and avoid spinning of these parts. A screw cast into the resin of the finial threads into the top of the spindle to secure the rack to the spindle. The base bolts into the bottom of the spindle and is held in place by a 1 3/4” machine screw, washer, and spring washer. While it’s no solid hardwood piece (but what isn’t made of fiberboard these days), it still looks pretty nice. A finial which looks to be made of wood toned, painted resin tops the stand. The stand features a turned hardwood spindle, though I’m not sure if it’s genuine oak or not. The base has three small feet made of 2” diameter dowel by 1” thick I believe. The base and rack are made of veneered pressboard material. The main components of the stand are the base, the turned post or “spindle”, the rack, and the top finial. The stand comes well packed, unassembled in four parts plus a small package of hardware. The height of the top section is low enough to avoid any strain on the sticks so they should be safe from warping as they would while leaning up against a wall. (I’ve contacted Lucasi and am checking into having a few bridge sticks and a breaking cue made to match the house cues) The sticks are stored by resting in sections cut out in the top board or “rack” and the butts of the sticks sit into hollowed out cups in the base of the stand. This will easily hold all my cues and bridge sticks and since I am going to order two sets of Lucasi’s high end one piece house cues, this will display them beautifully. It holds up to twelve cues, which is decent as most stands typically hold eight. The cue rack stands 43” tall with a diameter of 14”. I ordered mine in Winsor Oak finish and it was a tough choice as the room I am slowly building is an Irish Pub / Celtic themed game room, but the rack can also be ordered in a darker Classic Cherry finish. This reminds me of something you’d see in Europe, sitting near a Snooker table. I’ve always liked the tall round cue stands and when I saw this one, I instantly liked it. I wanted something that kept an old world style to it and didn’t really want to go with the combination table/cue floor stands. I love the wall racks but the problem is that they can take up a lot of space on your wall that you might wish to reserve for other game room décor. Last week I ordered the Warren cue rack from Touch of Class and thought that I would do a review on azbilliards for it.
