1-Will this lay flat and stay open? This is, if I open it up to the 3rd or 4th page and leave it on a table, will it remain flat and open?

Yes, it will stay open. That's why I like this one, with the stitching around the edges, cause it gives it some weight.

Hi John, no, the book does not lay open. It works perfect for my use. I use a large book mark.

Flat'ish. There's still a little bit of a rise, so it's not completely flat on the tabletop. I think, given time, it might flatten out completely.

Do you mean put it up vertically and lay it back on the case? yeah, I actually tried both ways: with inside cover and outside cover resting again the table. It won't stay with the outside cover on the table, and the inside cover will hold for a little bit and then it falls. I hit my iPad on the table several times and was afraid of breaking my iPad. It works perfectly when it on the table on the side (horizontally I guess?)

It lays pretty flat. Just make sure to put the flap back first, then fold the top back. I hold several cards in the top flap and this hasn't caused any problems.

Not knowing how large and heavy your book is, I just tried putting a 1500+ page hardcover book on my stand, and it seemed pretty much just as stable as with just a few pages of sheet music. I would however suggest: Putting the back leg pointed straight back (hopefully this makes sense), so it doesn't tip back, and for extra support on each side. I'd also suggest slightly offsetting your book, slightly more centering the weight distribution.

John,It will stay upright. You can not push it all the way down so it lies flat. Hope this helps.

Yes, as long as the book or paper can be sufficiently propped open. Someone might have to set page holders, if they are needed. It may also be best on a table or hard surface.

As long as you don't fill the pages with slide-in notes (ie page markers, postcards, stickee notes) it lays flat as a board on a flat surface; I have been getting this particular planner for over 6 years and it becomes my go to for tax information each year; health appointments, when bills are/were due; etc. are all in one place. Make sure you get the spiral covered item as the uncovered one might scratch wood. ENJOY!

it depends on the size of the book. the oversize one will have to lie flat.

Yes, it'll sit flat on a table and stand on it's own, but it's not very stable and will easily tip over if nudged.

Surprisingly it lays flat. I was concerned about that because it came roled up in a tight box. It is heavy enough material that it just rolled right out and was ready to play :-)

Do you mean opened? IF so, the answer is NO. Otherwise, with the cover closed, of course it's flat.

I just received mine and noticed there is very slight rocking and the 4th leg is not touching the floor like the other 3 but not big enough gap to put a book under, thought maybe its a safety design feature but not sure. I may get a better idea once I start using it.

Yes, it lays flat on the table. The lid lifts up on hinges and you can push it out of the way.

It does not lie flat when open. Because of that and the size there are some challenges for writing in this journal. It is a beautiful little book though, especially if you enjoy dragonflies.

Hello -- the art portfolio is bound, not rings, so the number and order of pages is set. The landscape orientation makes this a unique product, and it does lay nearly flat -- does not tend to close up at all. Hope this helps -- PG
