Know before you buy
Yes, each pair weighs 7 pounds total. The solid iron and steel construction provides significant heft, making them stable enough to support a substantial collection of hardcovers.
While the product is made of solid metal, we recommend placing them on a shelf liner or adding small felt pads if you are concerned about scratching delicate wood surfaces.
They are designed as a freestanding piece, so they work perfectly on desks, mantles, or console tables. Their 5-inch width makes them versatile enough for various surface depths.
Simply wipe them down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the dual-tone finish.
Yes, the Legs Up Bookends are sold as a pair, providing you with two matching pieces to secure both ends of your book collection.
