Do you think this stand is sturdy enough/large enough to hold a large dictionary (OED)?

The stand is very sturdy, so I think it should be able to hold a large dictionary.

The stand was sufficient for me. Obviously, if you push it, it will fall over, but otherwise it's stable.

It is very sturdy. I use it as a table top music stand when I play my guitar in the dining room. I put a 2 inch loose leaf binder with about seventy-five plastic document protectors with chord sheets "back to back"& about 150 . It functions very well.

I'm thinking it will hold a 5lb. book. I'd be a bit concerned about the tilt action with that weight. This stand doesn't LOCK in place in the traditional upward position. It should have a locking mechanism, but it doesn't for this model.

It's definitely large and sturdy enough. If you are storing them standing up, they will eventually start to sag. Gravity always wins. Hope that helps!

Yes - it's very sturdy. You can stack books in each shelf without any concerns.

yes, it is sturdy! I placed a tons of books and it is still working perfect. I admit I was afraid of changing every shelf support because at the end these are just plastic( I mean what is holding the 4 shelves beneath). I did not have time and they are still there working exc! You can find others cheaper but at least for me the price is a little expensive but it worths. At the beginning it looks the same as Walmart or Target's shelf bookcase, but you will notice eventually that the quality is much better. I hope it will help you,AG

I suppose it would work from an appearance standpoint. I don't think there are enough shelves. Would certainly work for larger books.

yes, it can hold a larger book, like an atlas, even. i am using it now for a heavy sherlock holmes anthology that is 9" x 11" and waay thicker than the spring page holders can manage, but i can read it fine without using the page holders. obviously, if your book is twice as high as the back of the bookstand and doesn't have a hardcover, it might flop backwards. but so far, i've been able to use this bookstand for every possible book i've needed to read. i can't say enough good things about this stand, seeing that i own 5 of them and scatter them all over the house for convenience.

This stand is sturdy IF if fits your keyboard correctly. But I can't help you with that.

Nope - this is pretty sturdy. I use it as a platform for paperwork next to the standup desk i bought that holds 2 mojitos & a keyboard.

That is larger than what I use, but not much. It should work just fine. One of the great things about this stand is how adjustable it is. I think you will find it indispensible - as I do!

It would depend on the thickness and the weight of the binder. If it was 1 1/2 - 2" thick, maybe so. The stand is very well made but so far I've only used it to hold conventional cookbooks (Southern Living Annual collection).

It is substantial, but I would not trust it to hold loaded with books. The way it is designed small L brackets could be added on the edges under the top as well as under the base to reinforce for books.

The stand has room and is plenty sturdy. I think it could hold a two inch thick hardback book if you wanted.

Yes I think it would. It is very sturdy and it will hold really thick cookbooks that I have.

It is very nice and sturdy, and can hold a number of books. It depends how big the music books are you mentioned.
