Condition
In overall fairly good condition. The portion that holds a book when opened has an overall wobble to it, generally stable to evenly applied weight but likely delicate to a very large or heavy book. The length of the 'lip' that would support a book is 14 inches; the depth at the thickest point is 1 7/8 inches. It remains intact but is loose. Dimensions of the square support that would support the book are: 14 x 11 3/8 inches. Having some abrasion to the wood throughout the object.
