It should work fine for documents. Just fold over to fit better. If only a few documents I would probably line both sides with cardboard for some stiffness. I have been shipping books hard and soft cover without any problems. Hope this helps

Not for books. These are great for files, papers, lose items. If the books fill the box it would be to heavy unless you are loading the boxes already on a hand cart.

The largest books I use it for are cookbooks. Some of them are quite big and fairly heavy and it works just fine. You can move the foldable parts in or out to accommodate different widths. I've been happy with mine.

No however we bought the tv stand and use it for our printer and other storage ie baskets, binders, etc. the TV stand would not be good for "regular" sized books.

Yes, no problem. I've had it for over a year and have used it with books larger than the stand.

Yes, as long as the book or paper can be sufficiently propped open. Someone might have to set page holders, if they are needed. It may also be best on a table or hard surface.

I've had this bookshelf for about a year. All the shelves are loaded with papers & books, but not heavy textbooks. The middle couple of shelves are starting to sag, so I wouldn't recommend it for books like yours. It would definitely need reinforcement.

It might work. The supposed "holder" bar is useless, so it won't hold anything, but you might be able to prop an ipad up and hold it with one hand. I don't have it any more; it was so small that it was worthless for books. I threw it away.

I have not used it for that, but as that sounds like book binding I would say yes.

No this is not good for soft cover books. There is a bamboo collapsible stand you can find online that is perfect for any kind of book.

Depends on the book. For textbooks not always. There isn't enough space in the book between the text and the binding so the words on the left get cut off. That or the scanner is slightly too big and wide so the scanner doesn't capture all the text. I would say for most books it's not suitable and you'd be better off with a flat bed book scanner which is much better quality and easier to use but more expensive.

If you have a lap desk it might work. It is really weak and I don't use it. If the book is a full novel it won't fit. I had trouble using it with my leather Bible. A waste of money. I hope this helps.

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!

It is a MEDIA cabinet, so it's not meant for books. You could probably put lighter text books on it, but big ones will probably break it or cause warping.

Depends on the thickness of the book. It can just about manage my 400 page language instruction book, but those fat 1000 books will probably be too large and too heavy for this.

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.
