Product review
What you receive is a single foldable wooden cookbook stand built to hold recipe books, tablets, magazines, sheet music and similar items. The design is uncomplicated: a wide crossed base for stability, a rear support that sets the viewing angle, and a small metal page stop to keep pages in place.
The stand is carved from solid pine and given a carbonized finish that deepens the wood grain into a rustic brown tone without painted coatings. The natural character of the pine is visible through the finish, lending a farmhouse or vintage appearance to your countertop or shelf.
It collapses flat to about 1.2 inches thick and is very lightweight, which makes it straightforward to store in a drawer, cabinet or behind other items when not required. Setup is a matter of unfolding the legs and resting a book or device against the back support.
Use it as a cookbook holder while you cook, a tablet stand for video calls or recipe videos, a display easel for platters or art, or a reading stand for sheet music and magazines. The broad base is intended to prevent tipping and accommodate a range of book sizes and tablets.
The piece works well as a gift for bakers, home cooks and music players who appreciate simple, rustic kitchen accessories. Assembly is minimal (no complex parts), and the unit ships ready to unfold and use.

Attractive and well-made
Lovely finish — I use it to prop a decorative platter. Feels solid and gives an upscale look without being flashy.

Anne Tillman 5/5
Useful and attractive
Keeps my cookbooks open and doubles as a music book holder when I play guitar. It’s good looking and stores compactly when folded.

Joye H Green 1/5
Cute but slightly frustrating
It looks great in my dorm kitchen and matches my shelves, but the angle feels awkward when I stand and the metal page bar is a bit stiff. It wobbles a touch when I tap the screen, so it’s fine but not perfect.

Kassidy Karm 5/5
Too dark for my taste
I ended up gluing it so it wouldn’t come apart and painted it blue because the stain was much darker than I expected. Otherwise it’s lightweight and roomy enough for a cookbook or an iPad; a phone looks tiny on it.

Simple to put together
Exactly what I needed for my kitchen. Folds open and is ready in seconds, and it looks nice on the counter.

Looks nice, feels flimsy
The stand appears attractive but the build feels cheap and it isn’t as adjustable as other holders I’ve tried. Good for light, occasional use.

Handy for tablet use
Great for holding a tablet during online meetings. The build was better than I expected and it offers good value. I’ve been very pleased with how useful it is.

Nice look, easy setup
Well packaged and straightforward to assemble. Works best with a hardcover book rather than thin paperbacks.
