Okay, so funny... I was cooking last week while trying to read this recipe book. And guess what? The pages kept flipping every time I looked away. Then the book kind of slid into a puddle of olive oil. Not ideal.

That is when I finally gave in and searched for a proper book stand. And wow, I should have done it way earlier. Especially after finding this cool Aussie company called Plate Stands of Australia.

Why does a book stand even matter?

I know it sounds like such a small thing. But once you use one, you get it. Whether you are reading, cooking, or showing off a fancy book or magazine, it just makes life easier.

Here is what I found super helpful:

• It holds your book open so no more fighting with the pages
  
  

• Keeps your hands free while you read or type or chop onions
  
  

• Also works as a display stand for those beautiful coffee table books
  
  

My personal setup!

So I got this wooden book stand from Plate Stands of Australia. It looks nice, not too bulky, and it fits right in on my desk. I use it while working too, like when I need to keep reference material open. No more neck pain from looking down all day. Which is kinda life-changing if you ask me.

Plus, their website is easy to scroll through. No weird pop ups or confusing menus. And the delivery came fast, which I honestly did not expect.

Conclusion

If you are into reading, cooking, studying, or just want something cool to hold your books upright, I totally recommend checking these guys out. They even have stands for plates and artwork, which is kinda fun if you like showing off stuff.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my little win. Sometimes small things like a book stand make a big difference.
