Hi, Jodie. Thanks for the question. The cherry is true to what you see here one screen, so it's a medium shade, not super light. Yes, you would move the front ones to get to the back, as they are intended one color per slot. This display is intended for Hemingworth thread, but if you have threads of the same size or smaller, they should fit. Please let us know if you have further questions.

I am desperately searching for thread storage, currently they are in boxes, racks everywhere!! I really wanted the white caddy to blend with a white sewing table. I do have some darker wood in there too, I know it says light cherry but was wondering how light?? Do you have to take the front threads out to get to the back ones? I love the boxes that store like books and have ordered 2 of those but I already have quite a few hemingworth and don’t have boxes for them, I saw the large boxes but they are too big mine are the “colors ones”. Plus I have some rayon threads which are very similar in size. Would they maybe fit in these also?
