I was excited reading about it and am even more impressed once it arrived—it holds all the pins I had on a flat magnetic dish style holder in 1/4 of the space! And being upright, the pins are so much easier and safer to grab. The padding at the bottom protects the points and also being magnetic on the outside is so handy to hold a needle threader or thread cutter. So glad I ordered 2, one for pins and one for sewing and embroidery needles 😊
