I have what looks like a coat rack or basket rack. It's a tall skinny rack made from 2"x 2" wood with 4 braceing cross bars on the bottom to hold it upright. We drilled holes to hold dowel rods at an angle...can't remember the size dowels or the length but each dowel will hold a large cone of thread comfortably. The important thing is that it can sit in a corner and not take up much space at all. Each side (4 total) of the 2" x 2" can hold 8 to 10 cones.
