Love it. I deal with bad posture, neck, and shoulder pain. After an hour or two with this I can keep reading! The strain would make my eyes lose focus, especially as it gets later and my eyes are drying out, and after working in a bad posture (sitting mostly) i just couldn’t stay into my stories. I get locked-in when i read, getting up periodically to do things but sometimes I just get zoned in and don’t notice the position i’m sitting in, slouching or whatnot. So as I was saying, after an hour or so of reading it was already worth the money. I can sit more upright now with having to hold the book, no more cramping hands (changing the little things that make a big difference; better breathing, better bloodflow, better focus.) As for the stand itself, absolutely love it. Keep the little wrench handy, you can and will need to loosen and tighten the screws to get the right height and angle. The base is on the small side, not a problem, it swivels. There is a little weight to it which i like for the durability, holds in place well. No wobbling but the instructions do say to tightens it a certain way so it stays level. Overall the whole stand is not huge, which is nice, takes up the same space as a laptop. It’s perfect for my table/couch set up. Would go good on a TV tray stand, bed table or something similar. The page holders are nice, it holds your standard paper back well but I think thicker books and hardcovers might be a little tight. (Whats nice now is I can just leave my book open on the page and walk away. Can also just move the whole stand easily to put it out of the way but it also looks for a nice display too.) I was worried about page tearing, it happen a little on one of the first pages but after a couple of page flips you get used to the feel and I was reading my smoother not having my hands or arms cramp up (try it with an already worn out book, not one you cherish or want to keep pretty just in case.) I’m was being gentle with the page holder but they seem pretty durable. You can flip the holder heads too for a rolly side and a solid side, neat. Overall, this stand is pretty great. I also attached my little reading lamp I was clipping to my books (made the holding a little lopsided) on the top so now it’s perfect. I am looking much more foward to reading now that I know I’m not straining my muscles anymore. Read more
I’m obsessed with this product!! It is great! I wish I would have found it a long time ago. I use this when I do my Bible study. I have a large journaling Bible and a large Bible commentary book that I use simultaneously. I can put the commentary on the stand and view it easily while reading and recording notes in my Bible. It swivels with ease and is constructed to hold a heavy book without a problem. It’s heavy enough that it doesn’t slide around on the table when I use it. I can adjust the angle of the podium part to hold any size book conveniently. If you’re looking for something like this, look no further. This one is fantastic!! Read more
This "book mount" really positions a book very well for easy reading. I also use it with my Tablet. Good quality, style and ease of use. Recommend it for anybody. Read more
Great stand. Looks good and is very durable. I just wish they would have used wing nuts instead of the included hex nuts, which require a tool each time a tension adjustment needs to be made. That said, I can easily make the switch for ~$2.50 at the hardware store. Still would recommend. Read more
I really like this! I read my books while lying on my side in the bed and it stays solid without tipping. The height is easily adjustable after the bolts/screws are loosened. The screws are extremely tight (for me) and loosening them takes some work. A wrench is included so you don't have to search for one. The pages are held open without slipping out of the clips. I am sure it would work well on a solid surface because it works so well on my bed. Read more
I'm a reader and this is the best book stand ever! It's versatile - tilts and swivels. It's sturdy and holds big thick books.. sometimes I put the metal holder on the front or back cover and let the book lamp clip hold the pages where I'm reading (for the thickest books of 300 to 400 pages). It's super sturdy, not falling over even with those big heavy books. Also easy to move from one table to another as I love to read on the porch but also need to bring it in on inclement days. I want another one and am giving it as gifts to my reading friends and family! A great purchase! Read more
Wish I would of got it a long time ago. It works great to read my big bible without having to look down and causing neck pain. The page stoppers dont work with it but it works for what I need it too and works great with smaller books. My bible is really thick. Read more
Very good!!! - Very nice design, quality built, strong, extremely flexible, fits well between keyboard and monitor. I like the wood finish and the adequate book bracket with hidden clips that swing out of the way to facilitate turning the pages. Just got it, but I am very satisfied with it so far. Read more
