Oh, I just love Levenger – to drool over…I don’t think I’ve had the budget to buy there.
Maryan, your link didn’t work, was it the Franklin Library Stand Item:FS0160?
That is more what I’m looking for. I think I’ve seen in the past something in the shape of Windowpane Page Holder Bookstand, Small Item: AD4470 with a small compartment underneath. This one is too small for my planner.
Lapalot Lap Desk Item FA2770 is more what I'm looking for, but price is not good laptop desk with hidden compartment.
Thanks for the cookbook holder ideas. I really needed something like that and it just didn't dawn on that I could move "UP" to keep the book out of the way of my splashes.
And Maryan, that first link to those bookstands is JUST delicious. What craftmanship.
This is perfect, except it needs a lip for the planner.

Why doesn't Levenger let us link?? Your links don't work either! But I suspect you were linking to another one that I liked as well.
I'm going to see if I can design my own. I'd like one small shelf to store paper or files on the bottom and then on top a slanted top with lip for planner and a flip top to store pens, scissors, tapes and stickies underneath. But... we'll see if that happens!

I've added my item numbers since Levenger won't allow direct links.
I like your idea...that's what I want. A slot and a flip top with a lip that can contain items. I'll be first in line to buy your plans.

Oh my goodness I just discovered this thread! Wow! I don't have time to read through the whole thing right now (it's our 25 yr. anniversary and I am just checking e-mail while waiting for my dh to be ready to go to dinner --yes I am waiting on him!) but wanted to mention one thing; I have tried a lot of different stands and the one thing I require is that the stand does NOT have a lip. I like to be able to flip through my planner while it's on the stand and a lip makes that very difficult.
I use a 7 hole so the binder it's in has pockets for containing slips of paper and such. Of course I realize this may not matter to others but do think about it before you purchase a stand. It didn't even occur to me and a stand I loved is just unusable because of that one problem.
He's ready --we're off!

Interesting, Michele. I use a binder also for my 7 hole, and I was thinking the binder makes it possible to turn pages. Thanks for offering that perspective. Maybe that little old lap desk will work.

I just thought of this and was coming back to mention it! With a lip, you can't flip pages. Which MAY not be a big deal, if you use your planner mainly as a "to-do-list" during the day. But, if you're constantly adding and writing and scheduling OTHER WEEKS during the day, then the lip would be BAD!

Haven't read everything just noticed you were have problems linking to items at Levenger..
When you're at the item.. right click on the product description area.. click properties and copy THAT url.. it should link you directly to the product. Like this.
Franklin Library Stand

Nope, didn't work for you, either, Jodie.

Just to be clear about lips...
I think Michele is talking about "J" shaped lips (for lack of a better description) or lips that run out horizontally and then shoot up vertically... compared to "L" shaped lips which I have on my dictionary stand.
It seems without any lip, the planner wouldn't stay on the stand.
We have a tall dictionary stand in our living room; I took our Bible off it and put my planner in a binder on it. Pages flipped fine. But... again, our lip is small and flat and also curves where your arms might rest. So writing in it was fine too. Even a notebook without a binder flipped just fine. So just my experience with little lips.

Right. I would call that part the ledge --the part the planner sits on and agree it's vital!
So from the side I want my stand to look like this: L but not this: J

I just couldn't resist.
Thanks for the clarification. I needed that, because I know I needed some kind of edge to keep from moving. I now know I dont' want a dippy kind of lip. Got it!

A long time ago I saw one that was an under cabinet kind with a telescoping arm! It was SO cool and I loved the idea but it was very pricey and alas I have not been able to find it again anyway.
Though I do think something like that wouldn't be terribly complicated to make . . .

Ooh... I just found this thread and I am REALLY intrigued by the "under the cabinet" bookholder. That just MIGHT keep little ones from grabbing my book and doodling all over it (arrrrgh! NOT good for this "obsessed with neatness" sort of mom... makes me want to cry...)

Bump! This was such a fun thread. I think a lot of the links are old/broken....but would love for anyone to add any new links of stands that they've seen around.
