What size cookbooks and tablets does this hold?
The 11-inch width accommodates standard cookbooks, iPads, tablets up to 10 inches, smartphones, recipe cards, and hardcover books. The scalloped ledge securely holds items at a comfortable viewing angle without slipping.
Why does each stand look different?
Acacia wood features natural grain patterns and color variations unique to each tree. These organic differences make every stand one-of-a-kind, reflecting authentic handcrafted quality and sustainable material sourcing rather than uniform mass production.
Is acacia wood durable for kitchen use?
Yes. Acacia is a dense hardwood known for exceptional strength and resistance to warping, splitting, and scratches. Its natural durability withstands daily kitchen use including spills, heat exposure, and regular handling.
Can this be used for tablets and phones?
Absolutely. The stand works perfectly for tablets, iPads, smartphones, and e-readers, keeping devices at eye level and protecting screens from kitchen splatters during recipe viewing or video streaming while cooking.
How do I clean kitchen spills from the wood?
Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. For sticky residue, use mild dish soap and water, followed by complete drying. Regular application of food-safe mineral oil protects against moisture damage.
Is this suitable as a gift?
Yes. The combination of artisanal craftsmanship, practical function, and natural beauty makes this an excellent housewarming, wedding, or host gift. Pair with a favorite cookbook for a thoughtful, complete presentation.
