First off, let me say these acrylic book stands are perfect for showcasing smaller items like novellas, postcards, or even your favorite signed books. The clear design is sleek and doesn't distract from whatever you're displaying.
I used them in my home office to display some of my favorite thin novels and they worked like a charm. The stands held the books securely without any wobbling. The smooth rounded corners are a nice touch – no scratched hands here!
However, I did notice they struggle with thicker books. My copy of Iron Flame was definitely too heavy and made the stand sag a bit. Stick to books under 100 pages for best results.
What surprised me most was their versatility. I ended up using one to display my mechanical keyboard at a LAN party, and it worked great! The stands are surprisingly sturdy for their thin appearance.
The value is excellent – six stands for this price is a steal. They've held up well over several months of use with no signs of wear. Just remember: small items good, big books bad.
