Are you looking for a good storage system for your ink pads????
Enabler alert!!!!!
I just got mine in the mail today, and it's AWESOME!!!
Now granted I bought the largest one they make, because I wanted it to hold all the pads (classic, craft, versa, staz on, etc) but they sell all different sizes and styles!
I still have to stain & seal mine to match my stamp room...but I just had to share this with my SCS friends!!
The one I bought was $65, they go down in price from there. And they will make one for you, if you have a special request.
You can either do 'buy it now' from e-bay otherwise I have the gals e-mail and you can e-mail her to order (that's what I did). (send me a pm for her e-mail address)
Oy my goodness, cam I come to your house???!!! That is awesome! So nice and neat! I'll have to check out that link; hmmmm, my birthday's in a couple of months........

My friend made the mistake of buying the one from kingdom :rolleyes:.
It is no where near the quality of this!!! You get what you pay for.
The kingdom cassette holder is similar to the napa valley cassette holder. (which is what I had previous to my new holder)
The kingdom rack is made for tapes-not ink pads, you can't move shelves arounnd, it is not sturdy, and it is not free standing. If none of those things matter, and you are looking for a cheaper alternative...then kingdom/napa valley is the way to go. (And actually I will be selling both of my napa valley holders...if you are interested ;))
After being able to compare both in person...I can say it's worth the couple extra bucks.

I have one of each and cannot tell the difference. In fact I think the kingdom one has an advantage because shelves are removable allowing for rows of Colorbox Chalks!
All I know is my friend did order from kingdom (she saw it posted on here awhile back) and everything I said previously in my post was true about what she ordered, and from what I see on their they only offer one.
I didn't post this to start an arguement about which is better. I was excited about a wonderful product and I wanted to share with my friends.

Excuuuuuuse me! I was the one who posted information and then was argued with. Can you quit picking at people?
Don't think that is what was happening.

Sharing her opinion about a cheaper product you promoted in her happy thread about her new product.
I always wonder why people consistently rain on someone else's parade with comments about how they have the same thing and it was this much cheaper (when really it's not the same and that's probably why it's cheaper).
Some people here are serious about their stampin and their supplies and strive for quality. She just got something good and wanted to share. I think that's very nice of her and personally I was bothered when you chimed in your post. IRKS ME and yes, seems argumentative.
It really looks great Mandy. Thanks for sharing this. Your case looks perfectly organized.

I love it Mandy....now you can work on filling in the rest of the empty spots!! Thanks for the heads up on the goods....will check out the link you gave!!!
BTW, it IS free standing, does have movable shelves, and is very sturdy. You are right it is made for tapes, but works great anyway.
The shelves that the OP posted are removable, can be free standing and comes in a variety of configurations...I have one with ribbon storage in the middle and absolutely love it...it comes unfinished so I will be staining it to match, or one could paint it to match the decor of their room. My customers are amazed when they come into my work space...which is also the dining room at the shelf and got information about it at the last class. The cuts are EXACTLY made and that is why I didn't mind paying a little more. It was also shipped extremely well and quickly. I may need to porder another little rack for more shelves...cause I seem to be buying more ribbon and inks all the time and I like the fact that they will match and up off my work space.
It looked so great that I just had to check it out. I just ordered the 64 size and can't wait to get it!! Thanks so much for letting us known about it!
I just purchased the one from Kingdom (about 3 weeks ago)... and my shelves aren�t removable!
I originally had a clear acrylic Stamp n Store that holds 60 pads and re-inkers on top, but run out of space for my ink pads. I purchase the Kingdom because it was inexpensive and will hold me over until I find one that I really like. I agree with Mandy� the quality of it isn�t all that great.
Mandy thanks for sharing the link and your picture� I will definitely look at this again when I�m ready to make the purchase for another one!
The kingdom ones are removable but you first must lift out the vertical supports. It is easier done with a person helping you. I have several of them purchased at different times. I did not know that the shelves were removable until I read it here on a thread some time back.
I went ahead and bought the same one Mandy has - the 120 version. I have a large # of the classic stamps and plan to buy all the craft stamps when I get my demo-ship That way I can store all those, plus my stazon, brilliance and versamark pads (hope to anyway). I'm personally not crazy about having multiple revolving racks on my desk.
That is awesome. I have the same one but a lil bit smaller. Chris hung it on the wall for me and it is perfect! Congrats on your find!
I am very intrested in this, I have a turn stlye one now and would much rather free up my counter space, (and this looks so HUGE!) How did you mount it on your wall???

All I can say is WOW. I placed my order this weekend, it was shipped yesterday and just showed up a couple minutes ago. The unit is VERY sturdy, and everyone of the "trays" is individual. Each can be removed - maximum versatility. Thanks for the recommendation, Mandy!

Also wondering about the "old style pads" that is mainly what I have along with some new ones, staz on etc. How does the "old style" fit in there? Is it a nice fit?

She does send along brackets that you can attach to the back to hang it on the wall. Being that I bought the largest, my Dh is going to build a 'stand' that it will rest on and then we will attch it to the wall. (Plus this will give me a place to put my punches.
I have all different brands of ink pads stazon, kaliedacolor, brillance, SU! Tim Holtz...you name it they all fit, with no problems!
I stained & sealed mine this weekend...it looks so purdy. I recommend getting the spray on stain & sealer...much easier than trying to use a brush.
Here is a picture of the unit all stained and filled up!

Mine is not finished OR loaded yet, but I thought I'd take a closeup of the fit of some pads. Top to bottom these are new SU (sorry - don't have the old style but this may help for relative sizing), StazOn, Spectrum, Chalk, Versamark, and Brilliance.
For mounting we made sure to find a good stud in the house ;) I mean wall....and used trhe brackets they sent with along with sheet rock plug dealeos. I store background stamps across the top of mine and is pretty much full and it rock solid on the wall. Last night I got a ton of questions about it at a class I was teaching at my house. I think I may need to get commissions or something since I think two of the gals will be purchasing them soon.
Are you looking for a good storage system for your ink pads????
