11 reasons not to buy

Buyers and experts question the rack’s stability, saying most bikes are wobbly when mounted. They suggest placing it in a low-traffic area away from breakables.
The e-bike-compatible Turbo version is also deemed unstable and requires additional support to prevent heavy bikes from falling.
The Bike Nook Bike Stand’s instability is ill-suited to households with large pets or children.
Buyers say the racks slides on the floor, and some report the seatpost cradle breaking.
The “Pro” attachment for bikes with fenders or a rear rack must be purchased separately.
The rack is rated for tires up to 2.5”. An owner with 2.4” MTB tires says they don’t fit.
The rack isn’t stable enough to support mountain bikes or Large and XL bikes, say owners.
Tests show bikes with narrow tires wobble more as the tire sits loosely in the tray.
Several owners report missing screws, instructions, and tools upon arrival.
Thane doesn't provide various product specifications.
Experts and buyers feel that the rack is expensive.

Bottom line

Thane's Bike Nook is a free-standing storage rack that holds one bike. It’s available in two versions: the standard one is for kids’, road, and hybrid bikes; the Turbo is rated for any bike, including e-bikes. Complaints are frequent and aplenty. Both versions are deemed unstable and unsuitable for households with kids and pets. Testers say the rack easily tips over if bumped. Compatibility is very limited, information about compatibility is sparse, and Thane is hard to contact, resulting in many returned products. Though it does work for some bikes, the Bike Nook disappoints many buyers and is considered overpriced.

Generally, if you’ve got an overly long bike, it’s no good for you, but if you’ve got a relatively normal bike like these, then [it] works… very well.
