Kit: This Book holder/laptop holder will last longer than me. Really sturdy; smoothly finished (nothing to snag fabric). Simple to adjust - just can't be better!

User: Very hard to manipulate. Based on reviews I thought this would be helpful post surgery but pre surgery I am challenged so I this will not work at all when I have physical limits. Hard to get the legs in balance, need 2 hands at a minimum to make adjustments. Disappointing to say the least

Kristen T.: Wow, thank you Uncaged Ergonomics! Post shoulder surgery, I’ve been needing something to hold my tablet, books, and puzzles at a comfortable angle, and this is amazing. It’s so much more comfortable not trying to hold on with my hands, which get tired, or prop up a book with my legs- which still cause neck tiredness from looking down. I found this easy to adjust even with an arm in a sling, and it’s just so nice to be able to get what I’m reading up to eye level and to be comfortable. I didn’t expect there to be a soft rubber sleeve included, which slides on to the lower bar where my book rests, up its so nice to also rest my wrist there as I turn pages. It’s a thoughtful feature. The whole thing is well thought out- nice and wide to go over my lap and hold any size book on its surface. I imagine it would make a nice tray for a dinner plate as well. I can’t wait to recommend it to friends and don’t know when I’ve been so happy with a purchase. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Editing to add that adjusting the side legs is not hard! You press in a button and move the legs where you want them, but you do not have to do both sides at the same time! Turn it on...

Le Bretton: J’utilise principalement pour visionner des replay ou des visioconférences.
J’en suis très satisfaite.

Ottawa buyer: Some previous reviews had mentioned the absence of something integrated to the stand that would have maintained the book open. This is definitively missing. The pluses: I used it for very heavy coffee table books on art and does the job in supporting the book. I also like the design: I do not need to hide it while not in use.

Jinny: Difficult to navigate. You need help from others to set it up so it works for you. A little frustrating

vedranvedran: mostly bought to be able to read books in bed or on the couch. it is challenging to adjust the stand on which the book rests because you have to press and hold the two buttons located on the left and right sides to be able to adjust the stand to the angle that suits you. one more person's help is needed. otherwise when you adjust to the desired position. the book holder is great.

Arv: I love reading in bed, but it gets uncomfortable to hold a book up for too long. Worse, I'm always craning my neck downward, and now have a case of "nerd neck" to show for it.

This thing perfectly solves the problem.

Pros:
- The legs are far enough apart that my legs can fit between them with plenty of room to spare. I'm 5'8 and 150 lbs, but this'd fit someone with much bigger thighs than myself, too. I couldn't find another product that checked this box.

- Can adjust the height so your neck isn't bent to read. Many of the other products I looked at were really only suitable for laptops, which require a lower height.

- Can tilt the platform to any angle. Many others maxed out at 35 or 45 degrees - again, fine for laptops but not really for books.

- The rubberized pad on the shelf under the book keeps it in place effectively. I read a heavier hardcover last night and it never felt in danger of falling off the shelf.

- Feels sturdy and well built.

- Lightweight.

Cons:

None really. But here are some considerations that don't bother me but might bother others.

- Adjusting the 6 joints (3 per leg) to get it to fit...

Jean: This is a very specific review (I'm rating it a 4 b/c I have someone to help me adjust it; otherwise, it's a 1). I need to lie on my back to read, and needed to get books off of my belly and out of my hands. With that in mind, this device works great when adjusted for books and would work well for holding a tablet, but it holds my lap top at an unusable angle/distance while lying down, which is disappointing. It's a nice wide size, about 19" between the arms; it comes assembled; it's sturdy but quite light.. We did have to add velcro straps on either side of my books to hold the pages down, as the platform needs to be vertical for books when lying on one's back. The problem is that it takes two people to adjust the device - one has to hold in two buttons on opposite sides, & then it takes another person to adjust the device. I have reasonable hand strength and a large hand size for a woman (wear an XL glove for length), but it's nearly impossible to adjust it by myself. If I lived alone, I'd have to return it. One caution, which seems self-evident in description but NOT when using it: take the object you're intending to use OFF OF THE DEVICE WHILE ADJUSTING IT! My husband had...
