How thick of a book can it hold? 1 inches? 5 inches?

1 1/8 inches and they are held upright better than the other style on amazon.

I can fit a binder and some books in the unit no more than 3 to 4 depending on the thickness

I don't think there would be a problem with a 5lb book, it seems sturdy enough, the legs can be stretched out far enough to stay balanced. I have some large music books that weigh 3lbs, or more, and I haven't had any problems.

It is just a bit less than 1.5 inches when folded. If you want to store it in a 1 inch space, there is no way. I will say that it is very sturdy and we have been pleased.

It is pretty sturdy so I don't think you'd have any problem storing books as long as they are not too big. The shelves are about 7" deep.

This item is 14'' wide. The holding lip is 1'' so you could accommodate a book up to 2'' thick.

The space for the book is 1.75 in. If the book is opened, it would fit. The weight is not a problem

I don't think they would hold books, I believe that I have them on .5" shelves.

Yes pretty easily depending on how many and how thick your books are. Now I will say if your books are of average size, you shouldn't have a problem at all.

Not a big heavy/thick book.. It comes with 2 small magnets for the back to stay up... They are not strong enough to keep the back up once you put something on it.. Because I wanted to keep it because of its perfect size, I added 4 more magnets and now holds up my iPad perfect... Hope this helps...

Paperbacks will fit it but obviously it'll depend on the size of the book. A bigger sized book may have to stand up versus being on its side. As far as weight, it's very sturdy. Weight won't be an issue.

If I understand the question you are trying to hold a book when closed measures 1.75 in thick. Yes this will hold the book but you have to widen the front arms, slide it in, then reposition the legs to hold it upright. Very tight fit.

So the size seems about accurate; it does hold a normal book. Pretty much any book of any width will fit. The stand will only come half way up the book so that is why it seems a little small.

its a little over 1 and 1/2 inches thick. The 3 ring binder inside is a normal 1 inch. I have about 60 papers inside rite now no problem

Hi. I have a binder of sheet music that at its widest point measures 3" thick. I just put it on my easel and it fit and there was a very small bit of space left between the book and the holder. The easel held it fine. It is is a nice easel. I wouldn't put anything REALLY heavy on it, but it holds pictures (and that binder) easily. I hope this helps you.

Yes. The two arms will hold a book that is about 4-5" when open. (We actually use it to hold a small netbook computer, though.)

I use it for all size books but, not for anything smaller than 4 1/2 inch width cover. Unless you want to force the book open flat, then nothing smaller than a 4-inch cover.
