Question: I deal with files/folders at work, not books.  Is this sturdy enough to support flimsy file folders?
Document: This has been a lifesaver and a great purchase for the money. I bought this while searching for a way to prevent neck/back strain from spending hours a day studying ("studying injury" lol). Out of the box it seems like it's flimsy and wouldn't be able to support any kind of weight, but once my huge calculus and physics books are on there it's solid and sturdy. It doesn't work as well with paperbacks and it's not meant for small books. For huge hardcover texts it's great though!
Other reviews made this stand sound sturdy enough to support a large book. It's an adequate stand for small books but really can't support much weight. It's nice that it folds flat for storage.
The Mighty Bright Fold-n-Stow Book Holder is lightweight and compact. It even comes with a vinyl case for storage & travel. This book holder is great for hard cover and paperback books. It even works well to support papers & file folders when working at a computer.
This is a really convenient book stand if you like to read outside of home and don't have larger books. If you don't necessarily need the portability or if you have large/tall textbooks I would suggest you look at something more study as this tends to tip over/make indentations on the bottom of pages for those books. Also you can increase the height of the stand by pulling  up part of the metal frame, but even with doing this it doesn't really support larger books well enough to easily highlight.
I've referred so many people to Amazon, I should be getting a commission. It works best with hardcover books, but larger paperbacks work as well.In any situation where it would be helpful for you to have the ability to read without holding a book, this is great. It would be especially helpful if you use cookbooks. I highly recommend this. It's inexpensive enough that you could get it even if you don't think you'll have a use for it.
Somewhat flimsy, but decent for large books or magazines. Doesn't work well with small paperback books. Over all, it works well for the cheap price.
Excellent product. Efficient (including wide enough) for it's use. Sturdy while not impeding the process of actually reading/viewing the book.
This book holder is fine for books that are not thick and heavy, otherwise, it's too flimsy for a large book. Many of my big cookbooks do not work on this at all. The book just falls over and the whole thing collapses.
I bought this after reading that another student studying law found that this could support her enormous textbooks. It's true! I use it for my biggest, heaviest books and it's just fine. I love that it folds up, too, so I can bring it to the library. Overall, great purchase for the price.
Holds my books while I write and read. It is sturdy and folds neatly; tucks in a drawer for storage
Answer: Yes as long as it it isn't something that won't stand up by itself like a single sheet of paper. If it is that flimsy, put something thicker behind it.  Hope this helped.  Lee R
