Floor Stand for Book Reading Height Adjustable Bamboo Book Stand Holder

arrived with parts missing. not noticed until after return date. Result: not fit for purpose.

Very high quality castings and extrusions. Sturdy, adjustable, works very well for reading books in a chair. It looks much more expensive than it is. There are limits to adjustability because the base is very large. It assures stability but can get in the way, depending on use. While very sturdy, it comes at the price of ease of certain (height) adjustability. A price one pays for it's excellent rigidity. Very pleased with functionality, very easy to assemble. Recommended.

Item ok so far. The assembly was fine except one screw was missing in the packaging and had to go purchase one. I will have to figure out how to counterbalance the bottom because it started to tip over a couple times. My fault for not noticing when I moved the platform out of the way when I got up from chair. Overall I think the stand is well made with quality parts. I highly recommend this stand for those looking for a reading stand that is sturdy and can be moved out of the way when not needed.

Exactly what I was looking for! I needed a stand to hold my laptop up so that my lap was free for writing notes/better neck angle/easy to leave recliner. Originally I tried an over the lap desk thing but it was hard to get out and found that it felt like my legs were confined. With this I can leave the recliner easily with the two points of 360rotation(as shown in two photos that I am pointing). Also bonus is that I can use it as a music stand since I have a few instruments. Another bonus was that the height is adjustable (top of pole is the max height). You can also remove the clear page holder/laptop holding flaps thingy with a screw driver if you really don't want it. I kept mine. As shown in photo , my laptop fits in it and it will fit bigger stuff. I feel like my thick calculus book would fit but I haven't tried/needed it for that. My recommendations for potential buyers: Measure first to see if it fits the height/arm length you need! As shown in the photo, the arm length worked out perfectly for what I needed but I did have to move the stand around the arm rest so it would reach. Also be sure to check if it can fit under the couch/bed if you want that option. Some couches has a bar for stability that prevent insertion of this stand so check beforehand. Like the middles of my couch has a bar so I could only stick it under the side. The actual arm connection (the photo with the yellow arrow drawn) to the stand does not rotate either. Which is fine for me since there are two other points of rotation (shown in the two photos where I am pointing). I found that this design made it more stable instead of having it be able to fully rotate there. Also be sure to tighten the screw at the base(photo with highlighted circle). I thought I did at first but then noticed it tilting slightly until I screwed it in until the screw wasn't sticking out anymore. My concern with this item: Only major concern I have is that the 180 rotation of the actual desk part is controlled by this hex thing (shown in the last photo). Basically you are able to freely move and adjust the angle of this stand without twisting any screws or pressing stuff (like a normal generic music stand) But, how well the stand stays at that position depends on how you tighten or loosen this big hex screw when you set up the stand(the last photo shown).You can easily tighten it again later but I am worried that over time it will loosen up so much that it won't hold an angle. This happens all the time to regular music stands so I'll see how this one holds up :) I don't plan to adjust it alot so hopefully it lasts awhile. I'll update after a few months if I have issues with this. First date of receiving item is Dec 10, 2022. Update: it's feb 11th now and I absolutely still love the stand. I actually ordered another one for the other side of the couch. Another thing I did notice is that since it's a V style base, the stand could loose balance and tip if it gets hit away from the V shape so to fix that I weigh the base down with something or if it's under my couch, I fill in the gap between the base of the stand and the bottom of the couch with books so it's like pinned in place(this is only an issue for me because I have a recliner so one of the legs is free to be lifted as you can see in the photo of the recliner lifted. This may not be an issue if you stick both legs under a normal couch). When I use the stand to hold music I don't need to worry about weighting it down because the sheet music/ipad is light and I'm facing it directly so it's never a problem. It's only when I use it to hold my laptop so I can write in my lap that I worry about accidentally tipping it over when I rotate it. Still the best/most comfortable out of all the options I tried for the couch/recliner. I've never tried it for a bed and honestly don't think it'll work well with a bed because it doesn't rotate at the pole(the photo with the yellow arrow drawn shows which part I mean) but it could work if that is not a problem for you. Also I think a stand with rollers would work better for a bed for ease of moving it away. This base is flat which is perfect for couches / chairs in general.

Excellent and solid stand that can hold sheet music or reasonable sized books. Perfect for my mom that needs to have reading material at eye level. I was a bit worried about the cost when compared to other units, but it definitely feels worth it after I assembled it (took about 5 minutes). My one suggestion is that it includes allen wrenches that you use to adjust the tightness of the hinges but there is no convenient place to store them on the stand, which would be nice (like a plastic clip like many computer monitor stands have). Overall, I am very impressed and happy with the purchase and may even buy a second unit for my house when she visits.

overall well-made with solid construction after assembly. The package came in an outer amazon box and an inner manufacturer box; both were damaged, resulting in scuff marks and dents in the metal parts. Someone else mentioned bent parts that affected functionality, but mine appears functional. The assembly was easy enough, but the instructions were not particularly clear (I regularly assemble furniture, and still took me 25min to complete!) It is heavy, which is not necessarily a bad thing vs. risk of tipping.
