I had two of these at my former house - which I brought with me from the house before that. I used one as a cookbook holder and the other as a message center in the kitchen. I'd buy it again if my current cabinets weren't all fitted with undercounter lights. The books remained dry and clean without having to constantly clean a plastic cover. It was easy to keep the pages open because of the angle. Despite opening and closing mine multiple times per day over a period of 10 years, they remained in mint condition. I never even had to tighten a screw.

Good quality. Sturdy. Not for large or unusually shaped books. Easy to install. Make sure you leave room for any light guard / undercabinet lighting. Ours just fits over the flat mounted underlighting. Although our lights get hot. Plastic shelf is @ 1 inch or less from the light. Heat doesn't SEEM to affect / melt the plastic shelf but we only had it on for @ 1 hour or so. We'll see.

Main issue is the size. Wish it were wider (and for some books, had more height clearance) as we have many gourmet/coffee table style cook books (french laundry. bouchon, alinea etc - all excellent btw) that will NOT fit on/in the cookbook holder. Mainly an issue of width; thicker books unless huge are usually ok. If your collection has average sized books, you'll be ok.

Quality is very good but priced too high.
