How thick a book can you put on it? ( measure the spine when it's closed ) & how tall? I have books 14" tall

You can put a pretty thick book in it in my opinion. I usually have 3 stacked in it at a time. The bottom of the metal piece is about 5". All my books are about 1" thick (closed spine). Tallest book is 10" and when I have the 10" in the holder about 1" is above the glass cover. Glass cover is 9.5" tall & almost 14" wide

It will hold at least a 3" thick book. The glass is just sits in the holder so you can rotate it if you'd like to be vertical instead of horizontal; just put the measurement guide on the bottom. Even with a 14" tall book, the glass set at horizontal will hold the book open and in place. The part of the book/page will just be above the height of the glass.

you can fit any cookbooks even thick but it will not all be covered by the glass

It seems to me that cutting the wooden length from 18" down to 14" would be no big deal, but you would also have shorten the plexiglass folding page holder and book holder by 2" and then round the edges of the plexiglass as well. This shortening project would also mean remounting the four hinges.

If you look at the top, there is a lip which is about 1/4 inch tall. They do allow me to put standard book boxes under bed where my frame doesn't hit them.

Yes. The back support can be positioned to lay against the back of the book rest part. The "total" thickness would basically be the back support, a centimeter or so for the area the book rests against and the lip or edge the base of the book rests on.

Hi Kelly. I'm not sure I'm understanding your question correctly, so get back to me if this doesn't answer your question. If you're talking about the width of the books that you stack to see the spines (with the adjustable shelves), the width there is 15". The side to display the books is 22" wide. If you want some pictures, let me know how to send them.

it would depend on the height of the paperback. I used it to hold a dvd collection and there is a 1/2 inch or so clearance on the height . I hope this help

The short answer is no. The major flaw in this product is the deck. Its not deep enough...there's not enough of it. It's not good for thicker books because the pages sag below the deck. But it's better than not having any bookstand! Also, there's a matter of the metal page holders which sometimes require both hands to navigate. Hope this helps!

Hi Guy, I tried a book that is about that size, it is wide enough-I don't think it is deep enough ^ for it it, probably would fit if you didn't have to close the zipper-Hope this helps a little G.Riley, Waterloo

I use this for shoe storage. With books, you might have to put it against a wall or something. Remember the depth of the box is only 4.5", this might be too shallow for wider books.

They won't fit easily enough to be handy getting them in or out if you are storing them upright with top and bottom shelves equidistant. There is a ridge on each shelf in the front and a skirt at the top that hangs down an inch or so from the top and upper shelf making the opening close to 12". They would have to be put in at an angle, to get the advantage of the 13-14 inch space behind the skirt. However, The middle shelf is adjustable, so you could make it work for one shelf and then put smaller books on the other one. I bought three of these, and they are good, solid pieces of furniture.

Is there a way for me to upload a picture showing the tape measure placed across the bars? It's definitely 14" but you might want to see for yourself. It's an awesome rack.

This is extremely sturdy, so I would guess it could accommodate almost any book weight within reason. As for size of book, the back frame the book rests upon is approximately 8.5 inches, so safely, I would think any book less than 14in would probably be fine. However, please note that I use this for a laptop holder so I may use it as an additional monitor in which case it works awesome.

Yes, I really like it, there is the edge where the book sits that does not lay flat. So when it is collapsed I would say at it's widest 2.25 inches wide I even measured it. But that is only the end where the books reside. I have thought about getting this as a gift for my pastor. I have mine sitting on the desk all the time : ) hope you get it and enjoy it.

Large books won't fit, but I tried some hardcover novels (9.5"x6.5") and they were fine. The space is 11" high, but because of the angle, it's just a bit over 6" deep at that point.

It's about 19 inches wide and though I love mine in my opinion it will be too much of an overlap. The cushion is thick so I wouldn't use it on a bench 14 inches wide. :)

Yes pretty easily depending on how many and how thick your books are. Now I will say if your books are of average size, you shouldn't have a problem at all.

Middle shelf has two measurements:15"&143/4".If a book is placed on it's side and then stood up,it can be 15".All books sliding straight in can only be about 141/2" or 143/4" tall.A piece of wood holding up the top,makes the difference. 14" between bottom and middle shelves.251/2" across between the cross piece uprights.Good quality,nice finish.
