I bought this for my home prayer table, mostly to hold the Breviary. It is a perfect size for these volumes, or other similar sized books. This would not be a good stand for large or thick books like the Bible. Perfect size and position for a iPad/tablet. The back of the stand is like a table top photo frame, (horizontal though, not diagonal like a photo frame), so only leans back to one position, not adjustable. The carved pattern is so beautiful and of course made with sturdy wood, which has a nice weight to it.



Overall, I am very pleased with his purchase, the price and shipping.
