"The clear plastic cover definitely is an awesome feature. You can put your finger down and your cookbook won't get all sticky or greasy.
The only downside for this product is the size. It's kind of big and if you don't have a LOT of counter space, it's bulky to have around. I use cookbooks often so I keep it out on the one counter spot that is too small to be useful for cooking and chopping, but this stand fits perfectly there.
It does fold flat to put away, but I've had it in our kitchen for a month and haven't put it away yet."
