Will it hold books open?

I use it for large and small computer books which are generally softbacks. The one I bought is really well made and does what it's supposed to do and that is to hold the books open to the page you want it to. The spring-loaded clips at the bottom are heavy duty and seem to be fastened well. Far better than the plastic holder I bought at a big box office supply store the first time. What a waste of money that was. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend or anyone else who needs to hold a book open to a specific page. Excellent.

YES! There is a little "arm" that flips up on each side to hold pages open. "Arms" are padded so they do not leave any marks on the pages. I can be reading, walk away and when I come back later, my pages are still open at the place I finished. Hope this helps!

I use primarily as an iPad stand, actually. It does have two pressure bars on the bottom which I think are there to swing up and hold a book open. It is a quality stand...solid.

Yes, it has two spring clips on the front of the ledge the book sits on (they're the little black lines in the picture). The springs are even tight enough to hold a hard-to-open paperback.

Yes the shelf can hold text books. Depending on the size you may have to place lying down

Yes it is but it is not a big space to write. It is great for holding big books open, though.

Yes it will hold an iPad, sturdy enough to hold books not too thick to fit.

Yes it is strong enough to hold books. It is very well made. I have several school yearbooks on my bottom shelf and have not had a problem

Yes, the shelves are adjustable and it is strong enough to hold books. I bough my over a year ago and I am delighted with my purchase.

Hello Steve,I don't think so since the angle of where the books go would be flat when using the built in stand. Without the stand the books would fall out. Thanks for the question

I use it to hold my wife's laundry detergents an such. I think a reasonable amount of of books would not be an issue

I use mine to store hats, so I am not a really good judge, but I would think a more traditional bookcase would work better. Some of the shelves are not wide enough for a textbook.

Hmmm...I honestly don't know. I think the depth of the frame to hold an open book would be okay, it's the weight of the book I'm not sure of. The stand is well made and very sturdy, so it could work out okay. If I had a cookbook that size, I'd be happy to experiment to help you out. Sorry...

Yes, and it opens like a book. The opening edge of the front is magnetic and when it is fully opened, it will form a stand with that magnetic edge clinging to the backside.

I'm not sure a book or magazine will stay open. There is a small notch that keeps the iPad in place so that it doesn't slip off but I don't think it's built to hold a magazine or book open.

Yes, it will. It will hold books of various sizes, Kindle, Nook, and ipad. It can be set in several angels to accommodate what you are working with at the time. The clips will hold pages keeping them from turning on you.

I would say yes, it probably is sturdy enough for books, but not ideal. It has no back on it & the top shelf is quite narrow, but it is pretty sturdy. I am only using it for towels & decorative items in my bathroom. It's perfect for that.

Yes, but keep in mind that this is a small table and can hold maybe a couple of books, or a lamp.

It is very nice and sturdy, and can hold a number of books. It depends how big the music books are you mentioned.

It is pretty sturdy so I don't think you'd have any problem storing books as long as they are not too big. The shelves are about 7" deep.
