Will the reading rack support text books?

Depends. The support extends out almost 7 inches. It's a piece of 3/16 rod stock. Strong enough but may not extend out far enough. Can always buy new rod stock (found at any home center) and make one larger if you need to. Only issue going to be will be the weight of the book.

Smaller ones, yes. But a no on bigger books. I find the book rest to be too far away so I use the monitor platform and that may work better.

I agree with the other responses. I have a full shelf of books on the bottom, the other 2 shelves each 1/2 full of books, and a large book of Kells on the top. It is sturdy, but is likely to wobble from the printer movement. At most I would recommend a small printer, preferably on the lower shelves.

yes, but the top self would not support a large text book, but does support smaller books

I don't use mine for books, but it looks like heavy books would do just fine....

Yes, no problem. I've had it for over a year and have used it with books larger than the stand.

The short answer is no. The major flaw in this product is the deck. Its not deep enough...there's not enough of it. It's not good for thicker books because the pages sag below the deck. But it's better than not having any bookstand! Also, there's a matter of the metal page holders which sometimes require both hands to navigate. Hope this helps!

Personally, I would not put books on it- or very few. I have put crystal and glass stemware/bar ware. The shelves are sturdy, but they are adjustable so you are relying on pins in holes to hold up the shelf up. Beautiful piece though and am happy with purchase.

Depending on the floor you have, if you have a hard floor yes. I love this Bookshelf !

Yes. A music stand is on top of it to hold your music book so you can read it.

It has a basic text reader. So, you can put e-books in .txt format onto it and read them. You can change the text size and color and save your place but you can't change the font type.

I would not put a bunch of heavy books on the unit. It is fairly sturdy, but you will want a dedicated "book" shelf for what you want. This one is more for family snapshots and misc things. We only keep books on the bottom shelf.

It should be fine to put books on. The shelves are strong.Although I wouldn't put too many on one shelf. Or extremely heavy books.

I've had this bookshelf for about a year. All the shelves are loaded with papers & books, but not heavy textbooks. The middle couple of shelves are starting to sag, so I wouldn't recommend it for books like yours. It would definitely need reinforcement.

Lisa, my wife is an avid reader and she cannot fit a book on this machine. Hope this helps.

No it wont look good hence the word "book shelf" buy a "tv stand" usually you can find ones that say how much weight they can with stand.

No. They are so cheaply made they wouldn't even hold seasonings and bread. So not a chance with books. It just bends.

You could leave out a shelf (I suppose) as each shelf is put in individually, but that wouldn't provide the support you need for the books.
