Know before you buy
These bookends are crafted from solid wood and designed to be substantial. They work best for small to medium-sized book stacks, though they may struggle with very large or heavy collections.
The bookends feature a flat, solid wood base. They do not include a dedicated non-slip pad, so you may want to add small felt furniture dots if you are placing them on a polished or glass surface.
Each individual elephant measures 4 inches in width and 4 inches in depth. Their compact, blocky design makes them ideal for standard shelving without taking up too much horizontal space.
Yes, their 4-inch square footprint is well-suited for most standard shelving depths. Because they are freestanding, they are easy to reposition as your book collection grows or changes.
These are sold as a complete pair, providing you with two elephant bookends to secure both ends of your book stack.
