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?

After hearing you guys talk about it, I would definitely get one if I ever get more than 3 balls.

Did someone say that there is a dust cover for the rack? If so, where can I get one?

What I did was buy 3. Then I doubled up on the bottom and third racks to build 2 pretty sturdy racks.Put casters on the bottom. Used 3 slats per side instead of two.Like someone else said it's about what you would expect for $39 but doubling up on two of the four shelves makes them alot sturdier. Would also like to know where to buy a cover if anyone knows.

The description of the dust cover says it's made of black cotton with the Ebonite logo.  If you just want it for function, you could probably use a beach towel.  --  JohnP

Its not the most sturdy thing but it has never fallen over or any of that on me and I have had it for a few years.
