Does it fit books (specifically textbooks) well?

No, it is far too shallow for textbooks. Might work for paperbacks, though.

I would not put books on the shelves but something lighter, like CD's. There is no back board for this bookshelf, even though the pictures shows one. But without the back baord to keep the shelves steady, it not good for heavy items.

It is a MEDIA cabinet, so it's not meant for books. You could probably put lighter text books on it, but big ones will probably break it or cause warping.

I guess it depends on the textbook sizes. The good thing about this shelf is you can adjust the height between shelves, Most of my big bigger books I can fit, if not typically I just turn them side ways and stack them.

Probably not. May fit a MacBook 13 and one textbook. Won't fit 3 ring binder. So unless you only carry a small laptop and occasional book you should opt for something else

Of course this depends on the thickness of the text books. However, as I look at the texts in my book shelf I would say it will hold 2 of my thickest books (about 2" each) and a notebook, or 3-5 thinner text books.There is a lot of storage for everything else like calculators, pens, Ipod, phone, etc.

Not sure what is a "standard size book", but they fit textbooks. If you mean standard size text books, then yes. They stretch and can fit slightly smaller or larger text books.

yes it does, very well will even fit a bigger store bought plastic reusable bottle. Only complaint is that there is not much room for books.

It fit in my bookbag no problem. It would just depend on the size of the bag

You would have to measure the textbook when it's open. I put binders on it. Also, the thickness of the textbook might be an issue. The clips that hold the book open is very strong.

The shelves adjust vertically. So as long as the books don't exceed the shelf depth, the book will fit. We use the shelves for paperbacks and they fit well.

Yes. My ConLaw textbook was a hardcover book with a over 2000 pages and it it fit in the stand nicely. I have been using this book holder for over a year now and it still works like new. Overall, a very good buy.

yes it fits both paperback and hardcover perfectly, you need to fix it on 4-6 pages of the book papers for not to scratch the cover

Yes, but you need to be very careful when you work with it. I used it for all my books.

It is really intended for a book 3" thick or thinner. That said I tried putting two books in it to approximate that thickness and it sits in it, but the front clear cover is pushed forward. Basically it would work but it's not optimal.

Absolutely yes. You will need something much sturdier to support your textbooks.

Just tried this with a relatively thin, standard soft cover ~8 x 10 book and it fit without a problem.

I just put a 15" macbook pro and a couple of medium sized books in mine and it all fit pretty easily. If you're putting text books in, they really should be medium size - large, thick ones will give you trouble.

Hi Guy, I tried a book that is about that size, it is wide enough-I don't think it is deep enough ^ for it it, probably would fit if you didn't have to close the zipper-Hope this helps a little G.Riley, Waterloo
