A book stand has been known to us since school times. Its use not only increases comfort during classes by freeing up space on a desk or table, but is also recommended by optometrists to maintain a healthy vision in children.
Why do we need reading stands
In primary school, teachers often require a book stand in the classroom. School desks are small and cause the child inconvenience if necessary, use a book and notebook at the same time. That is why a small and practical stand will become an indispensable assistant for the child in all lessons.
Optometrists approve of this decision and strongly support elementary school teachers. The vertical arrangement of the book will not provoke severe eye fatigue during classes and will prevent changes in the structure of the lens of the eye.
In addition, book coasters are school lifeguards, because with their help, the optimal distance is always maintained between the book and the eyes, which also greatly affects the state of vision. Proper placement of the child at the desk, maintaining an even posture and maintaining the correct distance between the eyes and the book or notebook will ensure the healthy development of the child and relieve excess fatigue from the visual apparatus and spine.
What are the coasters
Book reading stand can be metal, wooden, cardboard. You can make such a convenient device with your own hands. Metal coasters are more practical, they easily support the weight of the book and the need for constant folding and unfolding devices.
The most common supports consist of a plastic part on which a book or notebook is placed, a metal height adjuster and metal fasteners that hold the book in the right position and prevent pages from turning over. The table stand for books should be stable and create the correct inclination of the textbook.
Modern coasters have a variety of shapes and designs, but the only thing that remains unchanged is their functional component. The location of the textbooks in an upright position contributes to the correct position of the lens, which prevents its deformation and preserves vision even with increased eye strain.
Storage Stands
After a comfortable reading, books, study materials and magazines need to be stored somewhere. Plastic coasters are great for this purpose. They provide storage of books in vertical or horizontal position.
These coasters are very practical, lightweight and have an affordable cost, so they can be used to organize the storage of books and magazines at home. The presence of partitions between departments allows you to sort books by genre, author, size and other criteria.
A book stand is an indispensable thing in every home where a schoolchild or student grows. In the workplace, such devices will also not be redundant. It is very convenient to stack various documents and necessary papers in them.
How to make a do-it-yourself stand for storing books
For homemade coasters, you can use small cardboard boxes. It is optimal to use cardboard packs made from cereal and milk porridge for this purpose. In this case, the stand for books should be selected taking into account their size. By measuring the necessary width and height of the books, you can cut the boxes.
You need to trim the following images:
- The upper parts covering the box are cut off.
- Then, a straight line is drawn diagonally from the upper corner to the middle of the opposite side. This action must be done on both sides.
- The box is cropped along the drawn lines. The result is a stand, slanted on one side. In practicality, it is no different from purchased plastic options.
To make the stand for your own books look beautiful, it can be pasted over with white or colored paper. You can use a self-adhesive film of a suitable color or decorate the device with a beautiful patterned fabric. When decorating the stand, we recommend that you use your imagination and customize a practical thing for the interior of the room.
