The board measures 34 by 24 cm, which takes anything from an A5 paperback to an A3 music score, a tablet, or a laptop up to 17 inches. Elastic clips hold the pages of a real book open, which is the problem every cookbook has and almost nothing solves.
Angle and height both adjust, and the axis rotates a full 360 degrees, so it works propped high for a recipe you are reading across a bench or low and tilted for reading at a desk. It holds up to 4 kg, which is more than any book you own.
In a rental this tends to live two lives. In the kitchen it keeps a cookbook or a tablet out of the splash zone and at a readable angle. At a desk, or more likely a dining table doing duty as a desk, it lifts a laptop to eye level and takes the strain off your neck.
Non-slip pads keep it steady on a bench, and it folds flat into a drawer when the table has to be a table again. That last part is what makes it suit a small home rather than simply being another object competing for surface.
This suits cooks, students, remote workers and anyone reading sheet music. It is the sort of present people do not think to buy themselves and then use constantly, which is the best category of gift there is.
If you are buying for a cook, pair it with a cookbook and you have a complete present. For someone working from a laptop, note that raising the screen usually means wanting a separate keyboard, so that is the natural thing to add.
