Anyone own an ebonite ball rack?
« on: June 01, 2006, 05:02:11 AM »
i was thinking about picking one up, staining and polyurethaning it.
and getting the dust cover as well.

is it a quality rack and cover?

I saw that.  It looks pretty cool.  I can't imagine owning enough balls to fill that thing up though.

It fits 12 balls on it.  I have one myself.  It is actually pretty sturdy even though it may not look like it.  The best part is they are not expensive at all considering other ball racks I have seen.  Get it, you will be happy.

I have one.  There's a picture of it in my profile.  Didn't know they even made a cover.  If you're pretty handy, you could probably build one a little cheaper or maybe a little stronger.  For the lazy among us, it a pretty good deal.

I'm lazy and I bought one. Works just great. Bowling web site had it on sale for $39. Can't beat it for that.

$39?  That's pretty cheap.  I only have 3 balls though...

I have one and it is great for the money. It can be unstable on carpet until it settles with some balls on it for a couple days. I think I picked mine up for around $45-$50 shipped. I can't remember what site though. I know there is one on ebay right now for $39+$15 shipping.

I agree with what Strider said...It's good, it's a space saver, as to sturdy it's about what one would expect for $39.

The more balls on it...if next to a wall...the strurdier it seems.

Don't let your kid climb on it.

I like mine and am buying another!

I have mine for about 3 years, and its still going strong. One of the posters was right about putting it up next to a wall. I also paid $39 for it on Ebay.
