Bought for my gf and she loves itBought this as a gift for my granddaughter who loves to cook and bake. She wants a “Cookbook stand that will hold my cookbook while I cook.” The color (red) is gorgeous. The design is a lovely fleur de lis. It is heavy so it stays put and doesn’t fall over. The prongs in the front are a great addition to keep the book open to the page needed. And, the smooth, shiny finish cleans up like a dream. We could not be happier.This was a gift for my wife from our boys. Easy gift idea as it was something she already wanted. She LOVES it! Holds her cookbooks at a good angle and is easy to turn pages for longer recipes.Did I state she LOVES it?!?!Oh my gosh, I love this stand!!! I am a teacher and it hold my very heavy and thick teacher manual on my desk. It is so pretty and no book will knock it over since it is very sturdy and heavy (not so heavy that you can't lift, but just perfect for any book). It is perfect.My very sturdy and usefuldaughter loved it. Useful for her daughters to use while learning tyo follow recipes.The Home Basics Cookbook stand was just as it advertised. Great quality product. My wife loves it!This is a nice stand, but the dimensions are wrong. Amazon has it listed as length 10.5", width 5.7" and height 5". In reality, the width is 10.5", depth is 5.5" and the height is 8.5 inches. I bought it to hold an iPad, and the width is way to wide to keep it off the counter. Otherwise it's a nice stand, heavy duty, and attractive. Since we mainly bought it to hold an iPad in the kitchen, we contacted the company and they very graciously offered us a refund.Perfect in my kitchen.WowVery well made.
