Use a quilt stand to display a family heirloom, or to store blankets out of the way until you need them. Quilt stands traditionally have been made of metal, but there are several wooden options, too. Here are some of the best quilt stands we found that are sturdy and look nice while showing off your quilts.

Frenchi Home Furnishing Blanket Rack

An elegant display

This traditional quilt stand from Frenchi Home Furnishing is made from metal and coated with both a black and bronze rub to give it a beautiful rustic look. The scroll work looks nice and helps both distribute the weight and keep it level. There are three metal rods for hanging quilts in a cascading display. The stand itself stands just under three feet high and weighs a little more than eight pounds on its own.

Winsome Eleanor Walnut Organizer

Holds a lot

The Eleanor organizer is made from Beachwood with a walnut-colored finish. It has six rungs evenly distributed on an arched-shaped stand. This means you can hang unattractive blankets and quilts on one side and have them hidden by the prettier ones on the front. The Winsome Eleanor quilt rack needs to be assembled before use.

The Rose Home Fashion quilt stand is a little different. It is a wooden ladder that is finished with either a white or rustic chic finish. The ladder is 48 inches tall and leans up against a wall, usually in a corner. It has five rungs to display blankets and quilts in a unique way. This blanket ladder comes fully assembled and ready to use.

Show them all off

This unique shaped quilt stand will display three quilts in a cascade so you can see each one.

Deluxe Wooden Shelf Rack

Lift it higher

This quilt stand doesn’t sit on the ground. Instead, it is mounted on a wall to display an heirloom quilt and keep it from touching the floor and getting dirty. This rack is attached under a beautifully crafted shelf where you can complement your quilt with additional knick-knacks, plants, or photos. This quilt stand is 37.25 inches long and eight inches high.

The Frenchi Home Furnishing blanket rack is the most traditional quilt rack made from metal and able to hold quilts in a way that you can see the beauty of them all. The metalwork of the stand is beautiful and it is finished with a black and bronze rub that fits most decor themes. If you’d prefer wood, then check out the Eleanor walnut organizer by Winsome. It has more rungs to hold more quilts, too. However, if all the rungs are holding a quilt some of them won't be seen.

For a unique look, or to match your farmhouse decor, we recommend the blanket ladder by Rose Home Fashion. It stands in a corner out of the way while giving you a fun place to toss blankets or display heirloom quilts.
