Will it hold a 5 lb song book?

I'm thinking it will hold a 5lb. book. I'd be a bit concerned about the tilt action with that weight. This stand doesn't LOCK in place in the traditional upward position. It should have a locking mechanism, but it doesn't for this model.

I regularly place a full big band book on this stand. Not sure exactly how much it weighs, but we're talking a heavy duty folder with 300 or so sheets of paper in it...

Hi Gisela,I think it might but am not 100% sure, I bought it as a gift and I gave it away a while back.......it is a very nice sturdy book and hold lots of discs! I hope that helps you a little bit.Best Wishes,Amy

This stand will hold a music book if it is not too bulky. The lip of the stand is not that wide and there are holding clips set for a book ( only for pages)All in all, this stand is not as "heavy duty" as it purports to be and is quite confusing to set up as well.

I have used mine with large books. Initially when all of the weight is on one side it might be a little tricky, but it can certainly hold the weight.

I believe it should, I have well over 15 pounds of books on it now, and it has not fallen yet.

It would work with a book that's not too tall or thick. Thge ledge that holds the book in place is rather small and only about 1/4 inch high. A magazine would work well, though.

It will probably hold the weight of medium weight dishes, but the space between shelves & the size of the shelf might waste a lot of room. My granddaughter has hers packed with books, etc.

Eh. It was a little more flimsy then we were hoping. I can say that it holds more then it looks like it will, but less then you want it to. I wouldn't trust big heavy books on it.

I would say yes, the probably will hold a few books. Keep in mind they aren't huge though, and you may be better off going with something a tad larger than 1 1/2". Good luck! :)

Yeah, I think it will hold 5 jumbo's with no issue. I have 5 instruments in it, 1 electric bass, 1 Boulder Creek bass in soft bag, and two jumbo acoustic guitars and electric guitar.

Yes. My daughter carries a 5-inch binder, average of 3 text books and has plenty of room above books to put sweaters or jacket.

My girlfriend says that itsupports the weight of her full sized iPad so I would think it would sufficiently hold a decent sized book too.

No!!! Not at all! It really only hols a few pounds per shelf. Up to 3-4lbs. It looks great if you want to hole small, light weight stuff or a couple of books. It will not hold much more per shelf. That being said it has served me well to hold my cook books, framed pictures and a vase of dried flowers. I hope this was helpful!

Yes, assuming the textbooks and notebooks are not larger than legal size. There are two compartments, which may make it hold less overall books

I bought this as a gift for my daughters, who are teachers. They tell me that if cannot hold a great deal of weight. They would suggest not putting over one book in a pocket and then should only put 5-6 books at the utmost as it cannot hold a lot of weight.

Patricia, I just happen to have a 4lb. bag of sugar sitting right next to the jar, and it appears that it would easily accommodate 5 lbs. of volume, so the answer is "yes" it should be able to meet your needs. It is a very nice jar. Good luck. Larry

Absolutely, this will hold a hard cover book. The construction is very sturdy, impressively solid.
