Yes, the solid marble construction provides significant weight and stability. It is well-suited for supporting standard hardcovers and medium-sized books on a shelf or desk.
Simply dust the piece regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can dull the natural finish of the stone.
The bookend is designed as a solid, freestanding piece. We recommend placing it on a stable surface, and if you are concerned about scratching delicate wood, you may want to add small felt pads to the bottom.
