Bought this for my wife and granddaughter both use it, but my wife loves it.

This is a well made, solid unit. For me, it has been mostly a display piece. It's really too heavy as a lap piece and too small to really write on. It's very pretty but not too functional.

Weighs about 5lbs. As small as it is, it opens to a nice incline desk. Although there is a small gap across the middle when the desk is in the open position. But, I've never found it to be a problem, most my writing is in journals I think it would put a lap top at an uncomfortable angle. Hope this helps. I think I saw this desk in the first episode of A&E;'s TURN. It was being used by a British officer.

It weighs about 5 pounds, is a well made display item which has the right elevation for me to practice calligraphy. Not good for single sheets of paper. OL if using a pad or paper on a ruled or plain card surface.

I regularly place a full big band book on this stand. Not sure exactly how much it weighs, but we're talking a heavy duty folder with 300 or so sheets of paper in it...

The book ends are very light weight. They cannot hold up large, heavy books and should be used for small, light weight books.

I have a antique brass National Cash Register sitting on mine. It is one of the smaller cash registers but it still weighs approximately 75 pounds. Holds it fine with no problems.

It's real big display. You will have no problem reading it. That's a reason I bought it too is because of big display. Hope that helps you

Don't know a specific weight. But, it is not wimpy. i use it for my ipad and/or a heavy, tall book without any concern. The ledge wouldn't hold more than the width of the ipad with the cover. The heavy, tall, hardback book extends the bottom ledge, but it holds up fine. I use these all the time. Hope that helps.

I would estimate the weight at about 3 pounds. It can hold a professional fake book ( about 6 inches in depth) easily. This stand is sturdy.

it was stated to the right of the picture in smaller print. On display is 1 pound weights. it isn't in the title but I double checked before I clicked on it to purchase it.

Depends on what you want to use it for. The font - even set to the largest setting - is not entirely big. So if you were looking to transcribe class notes (or something to that effect), I would recommend something with a larger screen (7.85" or larger)...perhaps a tablet that works well with stylus. All said, it's possible for this tablet to supply your 'college' needs...but again, I'm not exactly sure how you will want to use it.

I would say yes, maybe not for very thin books, but for an average book I think it should work fine. Without battery it's really really light, so the best estimate for the weight of the lamp would be the weight of 3 AAA batteries in your hand. I have to admit that I always use it with the AC adaptor clipped on my bed headboard (so no battery).

Not sure of the actual number weight, but I would compare it to a nice Vellum or index card weight but with a very nice finish.

Yes, I think it's comfortable for reading. Maybe it would depend a little on a person's height though. I think this stand is great!

You might be better off with a desktop lecturn. This stand may not last if you are using it daily for thick and heavy books. But for the DIY handy person, it is possible to reinforce this stand to accomodate big and heavy books. I do not know the maximum weight it can hold. I have a cookbook that weighs 6lbs 5oz and it holds it up just fine.

Not sure of weight, but it is not heavy. I am a woman, and I carry it with no problems. I use it for arts and craft shows.

only weighted on the ends, maybe a couple ounces. These work great for reading.

I never weighed it but it really is light weight.Like another poster said it is kind of cheap and I only use it for storage in a bedroom and don't even use the lock. If I were traveling a lot with it I would get a more expensive locker. It fits my needs for my situation and is cheap and looks fine.
