I use this next to my computer screen for copying handwritten notes into electronic documents. The advantage is that they are at the same height so that I can look from left to right rather than from flat on the desk across to the screen. Its a lot easier. I have attached a small Gritin reading light (from Amazon) to the top corner so that the light shines down onto the notes. I find the page holders excellent as they are quite strong.The adjustment brackets are very stiff. This is needed so that the stand does not move if you place a heavy book on it. It is best to make adjustments to the position from the rear by moving the metal rather than grabbing the wood at the front, otherwise you could detach the wood from the frame. I keep my stand in one fixed position.The other advantage it gives is that I now have more desk space, as things can now be placed underneath it. Also I gain desk space as what used to be on the desk is now above it on the book stand. I find it quite invaluable.

I am really happy with this book stand. I primarily use it as part of my art practice, where I rest my A5 or A4 sketchbook upon whilst drawing. The stand is robust and sturdy enough that it does not tip over and remains in its folded position even when leant upon whilst sketching. It's small enough to be folded away when not in use, but just the right size to accommodate quite large books when needed.

I purchased this in late 2023 and use this every day. I have had zero problems and there is nothing to fault this book stand on. My books are accomodated comfortably on this book stand with no problems.My books are medium size: bigger than paperback and smaller than larger hardbacks with 2 of my books being 600 - 700 pages+. These are the reason for my purchase as they are weighty for reading over an hour at a time.This book stand is solid and has good movement to get the angle that is right for you whilst keeping a good balance. If you are going to rest this on your lap I do not recommend it. You have to hold it steady with at least one hand and that defeats my purpose for this awesome book stand. But, if you do use it this way, I recommend you use a cushion as this book stand is heavy on its own.I use at my table all the time because it frees my hands to hang by my side to maintain correct posture. This is main reason for my purchase. I did not want to slouch over my reading and have aches and pains. Posture is not cared about and it explains why so many people have back related problems from not sitting correctly, as nature did not design humans for sitting.I highly recommend this product: Its price, its quality, its useability, its longevity, its reliability and versatility. My son occasionally uses his 17 inch laptop on this and once the angle is adjusted, this book stand has no stress to take it.Very impressed. Well done Tounee. 5 stars. Thank you.

Very sturdy, I have some heavy cook books. So far so good. The height adjustment is good because with age, arching over a book while cooking is a pain in the arse (neck really). Anyway, my neck and arse are very thankful.

I know everyone else here brought this for physical books. And I did too honestly. But i never could get used to the hook thingy and yeah while it was okay I didnt really end up using it much.BUT thats when i figured, i have an IPad, I like reading off it, i like drawing off it, but would prefer a stand for it? Then realised I have this.So I now have my IPad always on this stand and I can adjust it, twist it to the perfect angle for me!And its honestly great. Much more use out of it for me atleast.

Very sturdy, nice finish and doesn't tip over easily holding down my 400 page text book. I wish I realised these stands existed sooner, would have saved me hunching over and trying to weigh down books with coasters/mugs to take notes on my tablet. I like it swivels as it gives me options if I change my desk design in the future. Some reviews mentioned it is very hard to adjust - I would say it requires a bit of a push and pull but that is a positive, it means it doesn't dip over time from the weight of the book and doesn't just change the angle if accidentally knocked a bit. The two front 'feet' are a bit stiff to move, so I have taken to only using one at a time to hold the page down, as it allows me to turn pages quicker without needing to remove the foot and reposition. Overall really happy and would recommend for anyone studying or just wanting to read heavier books without hunching.

Brilliant, very well made, just as described, very compact and will make my blossoming cooking experience much easier.

Purchased this for reading, I was surprised by the weight of the textbook it will hold, really great product
