I bought this as a gift for my wife and she did not like the design.
On a positive note it seems to be well made and she noted that they used pretty good quality wood in the construction. Her primary complaint was that since it only held her work from the top and bottom there was no way to get it tight enough to keep it from sagging on the sides. She didn't find this much better than just holding it in her hands. So, I returned and will try to find something that works better.
