Functional and works fine. I wanted it for scripts - to be held on a vertical 8x11 but it only works for a horizontal 8x11. It works well enough though and works be fine for its actual purpose of holding a book.
To be honest I wasn't expecting much from a cheap plastic holder I just wanted something to help hold my reference papers as I'm working from home. But this went way above my expectations! It is sturdy enough to hold my old Biochem textbooks from grad school and keeps the pages open without damaging the fragile pages. It's actually secure enough that I have used it as an angled support to hold my iPad when I annotate papers. I am so pleased that I can use it for both holding and for active writing. My only possible complaint is that it's a little tricky to collapse the back supports at some angles (but if this means that it won't collapse unexpectedly I'll take it).
A Bargain that’s Immediately Ready to Use and Enjoy.

I only have one problem with it and that’s when I place a new book on the stand it wasn’t designed to hold the first dozen or more pages on the left in a readable position; it’s like it needs something at the top to straighten the page out and make it more legible. Otherwise I’m very happy to have it because it’s so easy to use and it cost so little. Thank you.
