Adjustable Height And Angle Ergonomic Book Holder Reading Textbook Stand For Big Heavy Books Studying In Bed Couch Sitting Standing At A Desk Tablet Document Laptop Durable Lightweight Aluminum,Silver

Great item helped me in reading and using my laptop

It's a good product, well made, strong and reasonably light. It's not as difficult to set up as is stated in reviews. Just do one joint at a time and then the opposite one. It's a simple hold a button in whilst you move a leg and it clicks in at 15 degree stops - so it's easy to visually see when you have it matched. This is the only sensible model that will straddle most people's legs. Other makes seem too narrow to be used over the legs whilst seated and need to be on a desk , watch out for similar cheaper products that are demonstrated with pictures of tiny framed Asian girls using them, if you aren't that slim/tiny then this is the one you need.

I bought this primarily for reading in bed, and it does the job very well. It is well engineered and seems robust enough to take a heavy book. The joints in the legs have locking click stop positions that give a secure setup without risk of sagging.The joints have angle indicators so it is easy to record and reset a configuration. The instructions provide some sample configurations for different uses - these saved a lot of time figuring out the best way to set it up. For use in bed the legs are opened out to give a wide and stable base. On a desk they would be partly folded to take up less space.It is quite wide - ideal for use in bed, but check the width it will take up for other uses. It doesn't have any form of page holder apart from the ledge on which the book rests, which does have a small lip. A couple of clips would have been nice. If I was ordering it again I would have paid a little more for the black version. If you have a strong light on your book the silver stand provides a distracting reflection. Easily fixed with a sheet of black card.

MY WIFE FOUND READING AND BENDING OVER TO A TABLE WHEN SITTING AND READING A BOOK VERY TIRING AND HER NECK MUSCLES WERE ACHING. THIS RELIEVED ALL THOSE PROBLEMS, IT'S VERY LIGHT BEING ALUMINIUM AND EASILY FOLDED. FOR READING IN BED TOO IS MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE.ALL ROUND A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR TIRED WEARY 75 YR OLDS!!

As mentioned by others in previous reviews I wanted this to give me a comfortable reading position to protect my neck and back. This book holder offers the opportunity to make various adjustments in terms of height, reading angle and distance between the reader and the book itself, but for me it just didn't work easily in practice. Depending upon where I decided to sit, it required a number of adjustments of the various arms and legs to get the positions right. This was not always easy to do, as on one adjustment (the shelf angle) it's necessary to hold in two buttons, one each side at the same time. A third hand was required to move the part before the button(s) released. Tricky!! Also quite challenging for anyone with painful or limited hand use.Once appropriately set up, the book holder allows for a very comfortable reading position at a height which limits the need to bend over the book. its width, potential height and robustness make it very suitable for use at a table with either a book or a tablet. I found use on more leisurely seating more challenging.

It does what its advertised. However, for large thick books the product falls short and needs supplemental adds. The shelf on which books sit is far too narrow, there is no page clips to hold pages in place.In all the manufacturer could have gone a bit further by adding a wider shelf, and page clips.I suspect the manufacturer wanted to save on the box size and overall slimness of the design.
