Very Stable and Love the Page Holders

I am an avid cook, who actually writes my own cookbooks, taking pictures of my dishes as I go and then I go into Word and paste the pictures along with step by step instructions. I usually assemble my recipes in either a 3 ring binder with sheet protectors or I make a more permanent version using "scrapbook" binders from Hobby Lobby. In addition, of course I have dozens of cookbooks from sources like America's Test Kitchen.I am happiest when I am in my kitchen, creating and perusing cookbook recipes. When I saw this cookbook stand I was immediately impressed with its features and decided to get one through the Revain Vine program, offering the item for free in exchange for an honest review. I was hopeful that it would measure up to my expectations and needs. When I pulled it out of the box I was not disappointed.I have ordered and used stands like this before but they always seemed to be lacking in either stability, room that they take up, or in their utility in ease of use. This stand is firing on all cylinders. Besides looking great in the kitchen, it is very stable and the angle at which you can prop it up for use, is achieved with a very smart slotted base that tilts the surface back in the same manner that a poolside deck chair operates. So there is tremendous flexibility in how you view your cookbook. And what I like best about this stand is the curved metal, spring style arms that you pull out from the lower lip. These clips are really strong, friction clips which are under tension from the way they are curved, with rubber tips on the ends of the arms. They do a fantastic job of holding the right and left side pages in their open position.And this folds very flat, with its well designed configuration. I fold it flat and slip it into an overhead cabinet, hugging one of the sidewalls of the cabinet so it doesn't rob me of any space inside the cabinet.I just wish that I had this many years ago, as a super smart addition to my prolific amount of kitchen gear.

Pros
  • Stable and nice
Cons
  • Beige color may not match all kitchen or office decor
