A simple idea that has made my life so much easier. Lots more more expensive alternatives but this does the job perfectly at a reasonable price. Fast delivery.

Great desktop product which was bought for me.
The back rest folds in or out to adjust the angle. There are 8 different angles which can be acheived.
The ledge to hold books has 2 clips to secure it in place. They simply fold when not required.

When not it use the entire unit fold to become 1.1cm at the thickest point + clip hing protusions of 0.3cm. 24.5cm from the top to base and 29.6 cm from left to right.

I use it to hold paper from 1 sheet to a university paperback text book of 1260 pages. I find the adjustable angle and the clips hold the book in place without the unit becoming unstable.

My only 2 problems with the unit are that there are no metal hinged parts so it will break at some stage, I predict in 5 years time.
I would rubberise the 2 areas in contact with the desk becasue it slides after my desk has been polished. To rectify this I have cut and superglued elastic bands along the base areas in contact with the desk.

I chose this book lift to hold cookery books and recipe cards in the kitchen. It does the job, it's lightweight and it's possible to set it at all kinds of angles. Furthermore it's easy to clean, which suits the kitchen environment. Nevertheless it needs to be handled with kid gloves, otherwise bits drop off or threaten to snap off.

Good

It does what it says on the box and is just what I was looking for. I like that the you can tilt it in many different angles. There are two page holders on the lift but if you have a thick book, like some of the computer manuals I have, you are not going to be able to use those page holders. But thats just a minor issue to me, I can make the pages stay open in other ways. Another minor consern is that the quality is very plastic and not as sturdy as I would have hoped, but on the other hand it quite light weight so it's easy to take it with you in your backpack or bag.

I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT SOME TIME AGO. IT REPEATEDLY COLLAPSED ON ME.I JUST DITCHED IT.UNLESS FELLOWES HAVE IMPROVED THE QUALITY DRASTICALLY (AND FROM THE PICTURE THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE THE CASE), THEN I WOULDN'T TOUCH IT WITH A BARGE POLE.FLIMSY, CHEAP & NASTY

I bought one of these for my desk at work, one for my home office, then a third when my wife threatened to borrow the second one. It works nicely for books, loose papers, technical reports, as well as for my iPad, Kindle Fire and iPhone. The adjustable height allows me to stand it up or crouch it down below the bottom of my large external monitor. The adjustable, page-gripping clips work well enough to keep a springy book open and readable.The stand is sturdy enough for large hardcover books, yet folds down so I could slip it into my computer bag. (I suppose this makes it easy to steal, for what that's worth.) It doesn't have the stylish look I would like, but doesn't look embarrassingly cheap, either. You could take it with you into the Federal Witness Protection Program without it drawing undue attention. There is no serial number that needs to be filed off.I'll probably buy one or two more of them before I'm done.

I bought this copy holder originally as a study aid to hold my large Reference Bible and other large books to free the space on my desk in front of me for a notepad. I have come to use it not only for its original purpose but also for my recipe books while cooking.Although it does appear a little bit flimsy and plasticky once it has a book on it it is very sturdy and useful.

This functions well as a portable book stand. It's lightweight, folds flat and can be put in lever arch files with 2, 3 or 4 holes. It is too large for ordinary ring binders.It can hold pretty thick books - say around 600 pages, depending on whether it's a paperback or a hardback, but unless the book is reasonably good at staying open itself, the page holders won't hold it open, although it can hold a few unruly pages.The angle at which the book is held can be adjusted from about 60 degrees to maybe 20 or 30 in eight increments (sorry - no protractor!). Adjustment is made by inserting a tab into holes in the prop at the back. I would prefer another steeper angle, myself. There is another 'slot' that can be used for this, but I don't think it's mean to be - it's awkward to get the tab into it.The construction of the stand leaves something to be desired. The six pieces click into place, and when being adjusted, opened or closed, any of the parts can come off, which is annoying, although they do easily snap back into place. However, in use, it is rigid enough, except for the page holders, which may come off when moving them to turn the page or when holding books that won't stay open themselves.When I bought it, I did feel miffed at the high price of the postage, but I wanted portability, and this does provide that in spades. Most other book stands are too heavy or unwieldy.To conclude, I'd recommend this if you need to take a book stand with you, otherwise, you might want to consider other designs.

This is a very useful device which I use to hold books and musical scores. It saves me holding them either on my lap or flat on a table, both tiring positions. Can't fault it really.
