The cookbook stand, which also is ideal for thick and heavy regular books, works flawlessly. The open angle could go a stage "larger" maybe, usually rich existing but completely out. Disappointing (especially after I read the other reviews) is for me but definitely the processing. I have rarely seen such a cheap hinges (the screws are also wrong screwed into the wood), and my fingers and the tablecloth had to lifting or shifting of the stand already quite gotten the occasional splinter. Yes, the product is cheap, yet something should now be really better processed.
EDIT (after 3 months): The quality is even worse than initially thought because even begin the gluing to solve (at least for me) now. I want to emphasize that I have the product always behandlelt with care and it has never been exposed to unusual loads. Qualitatively, the product is clearly the worst thing I've ever purchased personally.
