I'm a music teacher and I use this for students who don't have a music stand. Adjustable angles make it easy to read letter-size sheet music without too much eyestrain and it's compact and very easy to carry.
I got this to do typing on my laptop when I am away from home. It folds flat and fits in my carry case very nicely. Exactly what I wanted. I have only had it a couple of weeks so can't comment on it's durability.
This book is great for holding the ICD-9 code book at proper angle for best reading position. The code book weighs about 3# and is adequate for holding the book without breaking. However it's rather flimsy for heavy books and would be nice for the holder to be at least 2 inches wider to hold wide books. Very good but has limitations.
I purchased one of these stands about a month ago for use in my quilting. It's so helpful for holding my patterns or books. I purchased this one for my daughter's birthday for her to use in her homeschool teaching.
I went looking for something to hold up my papers while I typed homework. And what I found was that plus some. Not only can I use this product to hold up my heavy college books I can use it to properly position my paperwork too. And as an added bonus it is portable! I can fold it down and put it into a three ring binder. It fits very nicely into my back pack or my laptop bag. I told my niece about this product. She was looking for the same thing I was but just couldn't make up her mind on which one she wanted. She saw mine tried it out and loved it. She will be buying one tomorrow.
The book stand is sturdier than I expected and it can accommodate many positions. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it would fit in a three ring binder. My college son and I are going to be competing for it I will most likely buy another one. He uses it for books as well as an impromptu stand for his sheet music. It is very versatile and compact.
