Readaeer Metal Book Stand for Desk Portable Document Holder for Cook Book, Music Book, iPad, Laptop, Reading Rest with 7 Adjustable Positions and Page Paper Clips

Such a useful stand. Great for holding recipe books, textbooks, and even phones. Works well and looks nice!

My husband and I cook together and have our own prep space at opposite corners of the kitchen. I have two Fire tablets (one fell and cracked a corner so I got a replacement one because I thought I had damaged it but it just keeps on working) and lots of Kindle cookbooks. I got this stand to hold one of the tablets so we each can see a recipe at the same time. I have another plastic stand that is not as sturdy as this one. By opening the same recipe on each tablet he can do all the chopping and slicing at his corner while I do the spices, measuring, and cooking at my corner. The only concern with this holder is the little spring controlled tabs that hold the item in place prevent the touch screen from working. If a recipe uses more than one page view I can't "turn" the page without removing the tablet from the holder. Other than that the stand is terrific. It is strong, has adjustable angles by setting a metal holder in different slots on the back., easy to wipe clean from food splatters, and folds flat for storage. It would easily hold a book that is not too thick. I don't pull the tabs out more than about a finger width to get my tablet behind them so I don't think it would hold one of my hard copy cookbooks that is more than an inch thick. But it is perfect for a tablet.

I wish it folded for easy storage or moving, and that the prongs holding the pages were adjustable. However, for the price, it's a great buy. It's lightweight, stable and holds the book well.

The stand for my music on my piano broke, this was the perfect alternative. Works great!

Best books stand ever, it actually holds the book up!

Pros: Easy to use, sturdy, looks nice, works great, folds down to store when not using. Cons: Papers flop over the top Overall a great product just wish it was taller or had an extender on it to support full length of the paper. Product is 9 inches tall so the top 1.5 inches flops over which kind of defeats the purpose of the stand. Would work great for a book or other item that has a sturdy backing, Not so much for a stack of invoices.

This does hold books and magazines, but the little arms that hold the book are not adjustable and cannot be held open by themselves. The arms are very strong but that also makes it hard to get a book in there if you need two hands on the book. In others I have had, I was able to move the arm to an open position until I had the book in place. Also, the size of your book or magazine might be wider than the position of the arms and you can't move them to fit. This is a metal stand but it is pretty heavy, too, and that makes it a little hard to move around on a table, especially if you have a tablecloth on the table. There are better ones out there.

I have an ASUS 15.6" Portable Monitor (MB168B) and I have never liked how the case converts to the stand. You have to lay it flat on the desk/table and it takes up so much room it is very limiting. In conference rooms during meetings, I felt like "that person" who takes up half the room as her personal space. I was looking for something lightweight and portable, but sturdy enough to prop the monitor on. It also needed to be adjustable. The primary angle I use is the most upright position, but it's nice to tilt it back a bit more when there is a glare on the monitor. The arms to hold books open or documents in place can be adjusted so they don't actually touch the monitor screen. I just leave them a little off the monitor as a safety measure in case the monitor tips - hasn't happened yet. Finally, it folds up flat and can be packed in a briefcase or backpack easily for travel and is very lightweight. All in all, I'm very pleased with the purchase and the price was right!
