Fellowes Booklift Document Holder - Ergonomic Hands Free Book and Document Holder - Silver

Well, it didn't look much when it arrived, but it's actually very good. I have a number of computer books which are 600+ pages long, and this holds them perfectly and is nice and sturdy. You can adjust the angle too, and the design does not damage the book. An excellent purchase.

This item is absolutely great. Plastic build, feels somewhat robust but also a bit flimsy in parts. Holds an A3 ring binder folder no problem. Good support, balances well and never had anything fall off it, it's never collapsed on me, it's just there and works and I don't even need to think about it. Highest setting is quite low, not very upright more of a slant. Great overall product. Does the job well, easy to store, good all rounder. The little prongs that hold the book pages open are a bit weak so not very effective at start or end of a book. But still very useful and you can fold them away if you don't want to use them. I am really happy with this product! 6/10.

Might not be a thing of beauty but it is a thing that is very useful. I bought it for use at home. I have bought other book holders but sadly they never held a really large book well and I have a lot of very large books but these days are too heavy for me to hold and I do not like reading with a book flat on lap or table and me bending over it. This has held every book I have put in it well and no overbalancing. The only slightly negative thing about it is the fact the parts that hold the book open do not slide so are not adjustable. The still hold the pages open on a book but the page is curved a bit so have to hold it with a finger so can read it easily but that is only at the start of a book, once more pages are read it is fine. Similar problem as you near the end but again it does still hold even the largest book open at your page and no slipping off the page. It is very light and folds up well so could easily be carried around in say a laptop bag along with laptop without either being harmed. So perfect if you want a book holder that holds lots of different sized books that cannot be kept in one place.

I purchased this to replace one that I had had for years but the placed holder regularly slipped and so purchased this. This is absolutely no better and frankly was a waste of money. I'm surprised becuause Fellowes usually means quality. Not on this product, I'm afraid.

First Impressions: This is cheap. There is flex in it, and the plastic seems brittle so that if you pull and bend it a lot I imagine it could snap. However holding a book in a single position it should do well. It is cheap, so you can't expect metal parts. The angle it holds at is 45degree to 60 degree. It's not very upright, but then for a desk holder you do want some angle on it. I'm using it to hold physics books for studying, but I imagine it will hold single sheets and thinner books also. If this was used in an office environment I'm not sure it would last long but as a home user it will be fine for me. Folds flat for easy storage/transportation.

My colleagues have commented on what a neat piece of equipment this is and I agree, it folds away easily to slide down the side of my monitor and although lightweight, it has no trouble supporting a heavy lever-arch file or large number of individual sheets. It can be adjusted to a number of angles, as required. Since starting to use it, I no longer experience neck pain whilst working and am really impressed to have such an excellent aid for an affordable price. Highly recommend.

Good: It folds up very nicely. Has quite a wide set of viewing angles Easy to setup and take down The page holding pegs are a nice touch. Very light. Bad: Flimsy – being made out of plastic rather than metal means that it can’t really take a battering. The back in particular looks quite vulnerable to being snapped. I’d hoped to be able to just throw it in a bag and cart it around, but I think I’m going to have to be a bit more careful. Overall: It’s really good – I’ve never tried using one of these before, but this appears to be doing the job

I've been using this nearly daily as a laptop stand for two years. This bests many 'proper' laptop stands in a number of ways: It raises the screen higher (taking less desk space), it packs flat, it's lighter, and it's cheaper (I paid £5). It looks flimsy but it's stable and rated for books up to 10kg, which is much more than even the heaviest laptop. I've proven its longevity and mine supports my laptop and a USB screen every day. You could even buy a few and leave one wherever you might need it.
