LEVO Hands Free Book Stand for Hard Covers, Paperbacks, CookBooks, TextBooks, Magazines

This product deserves a top review. Packaged great, the toughest part of putting together was getting out of package. That means it was secure, no shipping damage, well thought out! The most impressive piece is the base. Plenty heavy enough, could have been made much cheaper, most buyers wouldn't have a clue, but the manufacturers knew where to put the money, the base. Thought out! Next are the polls which work very smoothly, nothing flimsy, thought out! The resistance is perfect, which means when you adjust where you want the book platform, it stays put, thought out! The book platform is a great size, can handle most books, it swivels to perfection, no need for the straps in my situation which is sitting in a chair, thought out! Now for those who want to lay down to read, the book holders are perfect, thought out! All and all, a thought out product. Only took about five minutes to assemble. If I could read two books at the same time, I would have another one. Thanks product makers

I got this because I wanted to read at night in the bed and trying to hold a book above my face for extended lengths of time was very uncomfortable and caused eventual wrist pain. I've just spent my first evening with it and it is AMAZING! It's very well-built, sturdy and does not tip over easily even with a heavy book like my 2215 page hardcover Henry Morris Study Bible! It's pricey, but solves my problem beautifully! With all the time it will now allow me to read in comfort I'M VERY PLEASED AND EXCITED with my investment. I couldn't wait to write this review! The design is perfect and well-thought out. I use it basically to suspend my books above my face and it handles this very securely. The page holder clips work surprisingly well. I was afraid they may be awkward while turning pages but that's not an issue at all! I love everything about this stand and I highly recommend it it! This is one of the few items I've ordered that has far exceeded my expectations! I'm looking forward now to reading all my many books comfortably in bed before going to sleep. I love how it allows me to read and shift my body position while the book stays untouched exactly where it is! SWEET! Assembly was very easy and quick! I would think ANYONE who loves to read would love having one of these! It's a Godsend for me...because now I can spend more quality time with my Bible study books which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!

I ordered this barely days ago and it has already arrived. Unpacked and assembled in less than 30 minutes, including trying to whisk away those pesky styrofoam crumbs. I used only a U.S. quarter, a phillips screwdriver and a pair of pliers. Instructions are modest but adequate, sequential and in verbiage with images, not in those universal symbols used by a certain Scandinavian company. I did not have to insert the casters since the base came with the casters in place. (Perhaps that is a recent improvement). Also LEVO included two extra sets of the tiny bolt-washers-nut assemblies needed attach the page holders. Very generous thank you.The stand is soooooooo adjustable - EASILY adjustable. It is heavy, rolls well on the casters and is stable. I sit in a very low chair and with the vertical supports collapsed completely the book is at just the right height. If the vertical support was completely extended I could read from it standing up (I am 5'6"). My current book is about 500 hundred pages. Poor eyesight requires that the page be fairly close to my face to see the print. I tried a stack of pillows but my arms/hands still got tired of trying to keep the book in position. I have frequently thought about getting some kind of book stand and I am really glad I finally did. (I have a 600-page book in my reading stack.) This book stand is a marvel!It is black and does not match anything in my home but I am never giving it up. A small price to pay for such a wonderful tool. I only shopped online and fancied some of the other book stands I found - more elegant, beautiful woods or classy chrome. But in reading the reviews I found previous buyers were disappointed and some were just stuck with a bad purchase. Overall, this stand has gotten very positive reviews and I can see why.The only small issue that came up was in mounting my fat book on the plate. It mounted just fine but because it is quite thick and I am at the beginning of the book, the left page was closer to the plate than the right page. This made the right pages bend toward the center spine and the page did not lay flat. I put a 1/2" thick book under the left side of my book. Anchored the left strap again and now the book pages are flat on both sides of the book. I may not have described this well but if you mount a thick book you will immediately understand the issue. And please note - it is not an issue with the book stand.I highly recommend this product and would buy again, and again.If I can tear myself away from reading in comfort I will come back and post a photo.

As a person with numerous finger, hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, bicep/tricep, and rotator cuff injuries, I cannot say enough about how much I love this book stand! $200 is a lot of money, but it's pretty clear to me already that it was money well spent. I previously purchased a much less-expensive book stand made by Lecco which has done a passing job but has to be physically picked up to be moved and the mechanism for both holding the book and adjusting the height and angle cannot compare to this Levo G2 Deluxe. You will not tear or even damage pages with this book holder and it is sturdy enough to hold a lot of weight. The heavy base with casters insures that this thing isn't going to tip over but it can easily be rolled out of the way with one hand. Just as importantly, this stand gives you a nearly limitless range of positions from which to keep a book handy. I use it in a recliner with a laptop or keyboard and it is so sturdy and the movement of the arms and other parts is so smooth that everything but turning the pages is a one hand job. And speaking of turning the pages, this product has an ingenious method for doing just that, again without any issues with damaged or torn pages. It is so well-made. If you need hands-free access to books for any reason whatsoever, do not hesitate to purchase this stand. It does require a minimum of assembly but it is not complicated at all-- the directions are very clear and the wrench is included. I cannot recommend this product highly-enough!
