Does it hold clippings or sheets of paper? Would I need to add cardboard or extra support to keep those from flopping?

Yes, I would suggest adding cardboard. However, I bought this cookbook stand for my daughter. She bakes a lot of cakes and she is so very pleased with this stand. It is very sturdy and protects her cookbooks.

I usually support sheets of paper with a book behind it. Small clippings or recipe cards would work without something bigger behind it.

Carolyn - If you use your stand pushed against the back of a counter, it will hold a sheet of paper upright. I have also put single sheets in sideways and partially or completely closed the stand and stood it on its side, but you lose the angled view. If you are using it completely free-standing, you will need some support for the sheet of paper. I use the removable piece of Plexiglas that I saved from an old wooden cookbook holder!

A tall bin file might be better. The paper rolls likely would tilt out of place.

Some are probably referring to the adjustable page line bar, which is a pretty tight fit (the adjustable vertical magnifier that slides down the page). The clip at the top could hold about a tablet thickness worth of paper.

It holds papers really well, but it is not self locking. If you want to be extra careful, you could use binder clips.

There is a slot to hold the cardboard section of the notepad and there is a flap that covers the binding at the top. It's pretty sturdy.

I use it for my laundry stuff and it is stationary. I'm not sure I'd trust it to be sturdy enough for what you want to use it for.

I can't guarantee that it won't do those things, but it seems very sturdy to us. We have that portion full of writing and drawing materials and the entire desk sits on a thick carpet. We can roll the roll-out portion easily. We did not experience the issue of collapsing in on itself that the other reviewer mentioned.

Hi. Nice table, but not enough support for direct paper and table top hard writing due to thin padding. The paper won't tear, but you'll leave marking on the plastic cover on top of table.

It will probably hold as much paper as you can put in each drawer, the wheels are not tiny. I have crystals in mine.

There is no support on top or below. My paperwork has not fallen out the sides. Included with the file are two cross rods (moveable) to give stability to top and bottom. This meets my filing needs. Its portability is another feature I really appreciate. Hope that answers your question.

It can hold about what you see in the picture, without it leaning or caving in like mine did. I had to put wooden blocks on the bottom to help support the weight of my books and other items. The vertical shelves lean down towards the middle. I will say it was a nightmare putting it together and when I got it, it was missing half of the peices. It took a month to get all of It.

Well me and my co-workers have been using this on a daily basis for over a month. you can fill in the shelves with paper and it holds up pretty well (no dents), also the color hasn't faded which is a plus. Yeah I say it's very sturdy for a cardboard shelf stand. We have a ream of paper in the bottom two shelves and the rest is paperwork. Hope this helps:)

Yes. Bulky items may tip it since sides are not high... but I love it. Has held up well, doesn't "bend".

This stand can hold additional fabric. This is not a heavy duty stand and can be knocked down if someone carelessly backs into to it.

Yes, however it is not particularly sturdy so the heavy weight paper rolls are difficult but yet they work. I use a lot of fabric that I just clamp on which works better.

The flap didn't lock in place over the paper. I think that's what you mean by loose. I don't think it would work as a shelf. That would be a cool use for it though if the lid could be made sturdy.

I have this in my daycare center. I don't think it can be stapled up. I don't feel that the paper would be thick enough to hold it without sagging.
