The Cookbook holder consists of two parts: a stainless steel base and a plexiglass window. The workmanship is very good. The handling is easy and practical.
As long as the cookbook in height and width no "extremes" has (opened to 27cm H x 42cm B), it is perfectly protected behind the Plexiglas. Although this cookbook stand put away a lot, there are limitations, especially in the book thickness. Books from about 4 cm thickness (particularly hardbound) and over 450 pages, such as Seafood: Cookbook and encyclopedia of fish and seafood or even 1,000 Low-Fat Recipes from around the world, are unsuitable for this cookbook stand. The majority of "popular cookbooks" but should fit.
Apart from the aforementioned size restrictions, non-slip feet would have made sense under the stainless steel base! At the points where the Plexiglas comes in contact with the foot, scratches are inevitable over time - stainless steel is now times harder than acrylic.
Nevertheless, price / performance is consistent. Buy recommendation!
