I have one like this that my hubs and I made and I really like it. The sleeves are fabric that are attached to the boards. I used upholstery fabric and sewed them so the boards fit inside and then stapled in the center to prevent movement and to keep them centered. I did this for the long rails and the short ones so each are always ready to grab and use. I've tied quilts on mine and even used it to baste a quilt so I wouldn't be on the floor. It can be left setup as it doesn't take up a lot of floor space or can be rolled onto the rails to store until you can get back to it. I think the frame that fits your space and method of quilting is the best out there. For me....this IS the best.
