Know before you buy
While these bookends are crafted from durable resin and provide a sturdy anchor for standard books, they are primarily designed for decorative use. They work best with medium-sized collections and may require additional support if you are shelving very heavy or oversized art books.
No, these bookends do not feature a dedicated non-slip base. If you are placing them on a smooth or polished surface, you may want to add small adhesive felt pads to the bottom to prevent sliding and protect your furniture.
Each individual bookend measures 9.25 inches in length, 4.5 inches in width, and 8.5 inches in height. Since they are sold as a pair, ensure you have at least 18.5 inches of shelf length available if you plan to place them side-by-side.
No assembly is required. The bookends arrive ready to use right out of the box, so you can place them on your shelf immediately.
Absolutely. Because of their sculptural, modern design, they work well as decorative accents on console tables, fireplace mantels, or open shelving in a living room or bedroom, even if you aren't using them specifically to hold books.
