wishacc Large Size Bamboo Book Stand and Cookbook Holders for Reading Hands Free

Well made and sturdy. Holds a thick book in place. Very nice design. Bought it as a gift and it is very pretty. My husband loves it and uses it every day.

Beautiful item. Very useful and well built. Would buy again

This book stand works great, hold the book just right. When it is not in use it looks great on the countertop. The price is just right and it is a needed piece for any kitchen

Learners/researchers of all types working with books and/or computers -- do yourself a favor. You may not even realize how much you need one of these -- it will make life so much more pleasant! I originally bought it because trying to read a textbook on a flat surface, i am often confronted by glare off the pages from lights. But putting your books or even your laptop on a stand is also better for your back/posture, creates more workspace on your table, and makes study reading even more pleasurable. As for this particular one -- get the biggest size. You will always make use of the extra real estate, trust me. The decorative design is sweet. The stand on the back is sturdy enough even for big textbooks, as ditto regarding the hinged, folding shelf the book will sit on. I can take notes in my books on the stand without problem. It is sturdy. The shelf is also wide enough to hold big books comfortably, even without using the page holds. This is a simple design yet accomplishes all you need a bookstand to do, in my opinion. You will thank yourself for getting one.

When will I learn to check the measurements on things I purchase on Amazon? I like the look, the feel of the wood, I like the two little "handles" that adjust and hold my bible in place. I thought it was bigger, but that's my error for not checking the measurements. Keeping it, not returning.

If you are looking for a sturdy book stand that will hold full sized textbooks and smaller, this is a decent choice. The bamboo is sturdy, components are simple (almost no plastic) and any tweaks like loose screws should be an easy enough fix. I would have wanted a solid back rather than decorative cutouts. I could do without snag points or breaking points. But I was willing to tolerate it for the large dimensions. The spring clips are flexible and strong, although if someone is careless I'm sure they could be bent beyond their elastic limit (permanently). The way they came, the clips will provide tension on anything from several hundred pages thick down to a single page without damaging the book or themselves. The ends are covered in vinyl for protection, but anyone could wrap one in a rubber band if they ever lose a covering. I think I loctited the screws, and may even have superglued a screw as one screw hole was too generous, or I superglued one side of the hinge directly in place - I can't remember. Be aware with this design, if you pull the backrest of the book holder towards you, you will disengage metal bar from its slot which holds it in place. So you either have to handle the book only, or do what I did: once you find the angle you like that works for your desk, use a rubber band or zip ties to keep it there. This is large, not optimal for a backpack, but works very well for desks / tables to reduce glare and keep a decent posture when reading.

Great Bible holder! Love the adjustments it has along with the "Flexible " page holders. I had to unscrew the page holder arms to allow it to move smoothly. Wood carving is attractive. Wood seems a little dry I'll be putting some food grade mineral oil on it soon and let it soak in. (I use this food grade oil on my bamboo cutting boards to maintain them too works great) Stand is sturdy and not wobbly. Love it. Highly recommend it

This item is absolutely gorgeous!!! It is solid a well crafted. I was looking for a decorative, wooden, tabletop book stand for a small private chapel. I am extremely satisfied with this item an highly recommended it!
