A Perfect Gift . . .

". . . for the reader in your life. I purchased the Apex Book Niche in natural cherry wood for my spouse -- the niche was a well-received gift. It keeps periodicals and a book (or two) in a well defined space: the "apex" keeps the page you left-off in your book; the felted rectangle for a mobile device keeps the phone at the ready. My only suggestion for an improvement in future iterations of this product would be to have some kind of protective barrier between the cherry wood and beverage container area. We simply placed a coaster in the space so condensation or heat does not mar the wood. The niche is attractive, compact, functional, and provides a unique system to organize one's reading area."

Every night stand needs one

"This piece is exactly what was missing from my nightstand. It’s a beautifully crafted little station that solves all the small annoyances of a bedtime reader. Instead of fumbling with bookmarks or laying a book face-down (and worrying about the spine), I can just set it right on the peak to save my spot. The wood finish is gorgeous and feels substantial, not flimsy. I especially love the velvet-lined section for my glasses."

Super book stand

"“The Perfect Gift” I said to myself! When I first saw this really cool book stand. My wife is an avid reader, and is always putting her book down, and I thought this her homecport. . . Book, coffee, and maybe phone post too !"

Lacking Coaster

"This is an interesting well thout out item. It is nicely constructed and very attractive. The cell phone space isn't big enough to accommodate a large phone but space is limited (and phones keep growing). The phone space has a padded insert which is nice. However, the cup space has no coaster of any sort. It seems odd to me that the one area that would see spills or sweating from glasses is unprotected. A removeable cork coaster would be a great, inexpensive addition that would go a long way towards maintaining the look of the Book Niche."

A-FRAME: THE BEST READING FRAME

"This little device is simple one that tickles me to death. I love it. AND, for some reason, my cats are leaving my knickknacks and doodads I have place on it alone. What more could a man ask for?"

— Peter R. (5/5)

Matter of forward thinking

"The phone placement size is NOT well thought out. My phone is one year old - can’t imagine how current phones fit - poorly I assume!"
