Book Stand for Reading, Adjustable Holder with 360° Rotating Base & Page Clips, Foldable Desktop Ricer for Cookbook,Sheet Music,Laptop,Recipe,Textbook,Hands Free,Wood,Aluminium

I purchased this stand in April ‘23, and use it daily. It still holds a book in place like it did brand new. You can use it on a desk or swivel tray next to a chair. Amazingly it will hold an heavy tome. Excellent purchase.

I previously bought a book stand and had to return it. (The reason was that the lower part of the arms were set too close to the stand that the book rests on, and the 2-inch thick book I was reading was open to the first few pages... and the right side arm would not fit over the thick part of the book.) *But this Amasrich book stand solves that.* In the vendor's pictures, notice how the lower part of the arms jut out. That allows it to fit over the thick set of pages. I also tested this stand with small paperback books, and it also works well. One feature that also helps: this arm can rotate so that it can come from the left or right side, rather than from the bottom. Well engineered product - highly recommended.

I have had this for exactly 27 days. At first it was sturdy, looked well built and crafted, it also did exactly what I needed it to. But after a few days it started getting loose; wobbly and unsteady. I assumed it was normal wear and tear and that was just how it was supposed to be once broken in. However today, in the middle of my reading I adjusted the height and it broke. As simple as the unlatching of a button it just popped off. I tried to salvage it and see if I could reconnect it or even fix it, but where it broke there was no hope. Utterly disappointed.UPDATE:Seller contacted me and is willing to replace the defective book stand. They were very attentive, apologetic, and quick to fix the issue. Super happy with the customer representative and would recommend this item!Second Update:I received the new bookstand and it is a better version of the original. It is sturdy. It hasn’t worn down and it does exactly what I need it to. The ‘stand’ part has 2 legs rather than the original 1 to hold the book. Much better design! So, so happy! Rating is going to a 5 ⭐️!

It is a little tilted.

I have bounced between a couple of different book stands and I’m finally sticking with one—this one! Other stands I’ve used slide back when I turn pages while reading/viewing a book on the stand (usually the bamboo stands I’ve had), and the page holders I’ve used on other stands almost never work for larger books (usually they are metallic arms that have a single range of motion).This stand is fantastic. So many points of movement so you can customize and get the exact height and angle for viewing. I also love how strong it is. At first I thought it might be annoying that the arms move so stubbornly but that’s a really good thing. I use some heavy books at time (1,000 pages or more!) and there is absolutely no regression in the angles I’ve set. It’s very sturdy. But once you get used to it the stand is easy to fold and store. I typically keep it compact on my bookshelf to conserve desk space and then take it out 1-2x a day as needed.This stand looks sharp, has a great cushioned grip pad on the bottom to keep it steady, rotates seamlessly in a 360 motion, and the page arms have an incredible range of motion (and I love that they can be stored behind the stand—mainly for when I use my iPad it keeps them out of the way). If you need a book stand you need this one.

If you take notes of books you read you have to have this or one like it. This is very solid and holds books of even six hundred pages open.

The title says it all, really.This stand is truly well made, and practical. I frequently need to work with books open, and this stand is very easy to use, and practical. If I need to work on other stuff, I can pick it up, with the book open, and resume at a later time.

I bought this stand to hold books so I could read hands-free. It does exactly what I need it to do. The page holder wires are strong and work great for both a mass market paperback or a large hardback book. The stand is strong enough to handle a heavy hardback book.The stand swivels and makes the most delicious clicking sound. I cannot overstate the coolness of this feature. You can adjust the angle and tilt easily, giving you plenty of viewing options. If you want to use this as a tablet holder, the wire page holders fold out of view. The whole unit folds flat - about 3 inches high - for storage or travel.I am very happy with this purchase, as it solves a problem - reading actual books hands-free when my Kindle isn't an option. (I like to read while snacking.) This is also a great solution if you are using books as references while working. There is room to clip a book light into the unit if you need it.Definitely would buy again. There are plenty of similar items on Amazon, but this particular version was the right combination of quality and price for me.
