The famous classic J & P Coats thread spool cabinets were used in the general dry goods stores during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Sewing thread and sewing notions would be displayed in these beautiful countertop cabinets. The cabinets were manufactured in furniture factories using the same mortise-and-tenon and reverse-side-panel construction as furniture produced at the time.
Thread companies would provide these cabinets, mostly free, to stores that sold threads and sewing items. Traveling salesmen would make frequent visits to restock the cupboards.

Description / J&P Coats Reproduction Thread Spool Cabinet Kit
This is a very easy-to-assemble kit; all pieces are pre-cut, and the reverse panel sides are already assembled. Attach the bottom and top, slide in the drawer glides, assemble the drawers, and you will look like a master furniture builder. Please see the note below regarding the limited instructions that will accompany this cabinet.
This is our reproduction of the famous classic J & P Coats thread spool cabinets used in the general dry goods stores during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
This reproduction cabinet is a Cottage Craft Works exclusive design. It was built as a prototype by Paul Stevens and then sent to one of our Amish craftsmen to make exclusively for us.
We sell this spool cabinet kit unfinished in Cherry, Quarter-Sawn Oak, or Oak. The cabinet is priced in Oak as pictured; select a wood option to see the incremental price difference. Most of the original cabinets were made from Oak.
The cabinet is Amish, handcrafted from 3/4” and 1/2" premium hardwoods. The interior of the cabinet reflects the same level of craftsmanship as the beautiful exterior.
The kit includes the decals and all the wood.
The sides are reverse panels, and the interior drawer rail construction mirrors the furniture designs of the period. These cabinets are built to become tomorrow’s family antique heirlooms.
The finished cabinet measures 23-1/2 wide X 17” Deep X 19-1/2 Tall. The cabinet is custom-sized to make a perfect end or side table.
Five drawers with an inside space of 19” Wide X 14” Deep X 2-3/8 Tall make an ideal cabinet for storing magazines, hobbies, collections, and craft items out of the way when the company comes to call, or for use in a sewing room to recreate a bit of nostalgia.
The cabinet comes standard with white Porcelain knobs as pictured. If you prefer different knobs, you can remove these and add your own.
Each cabinet or kit is custom handcrafted for each order. Please allow four to eight weeks for oak and eight to twelve weeks for quarter-sawn oak or cherry before your cabinet is shipped.
We are pleased to offer an exceptional piece of Amish custom-made furniture, available in an easy-to-assemble kit, at a very reasonable price.

Please note: You will need some cabinet and furniture-building experience to visualize the assembly. The Amish shop doesn't use computers and does not provide printed assembly instructions. Instead, you will receive detailed handwritten instructions that some can use without issue and assemble with a breeze, while others who do not have that ability will struggle with the assembly.
