Know before you buy
Yes, because they are crafted from solid cast iron, these bookends have significant weight and stability. They are well-suited for supporting standard-sized hardcovers and collections on a desk or shelf.
While the product is made of durable cast iron, we recommend checking the base upon arrival. If you are placing them on a delicate surface like a polished wood desk, you may want to add small felt pads to prevent potential scratching.
Absolutely. The vintage bicycle design is detailed and visually interesting, making them a great decorative accent for a mantel, console table, or office shelf even when not actively holding books.
Each individual bookend measures 3.25 inches in depth and 9.5 inches in width. This provides a stable base for most standard book depths.
The finish is a classic, neutral black that leans toward a matte or satin appearance, which complements the vintage, industrial aesthetic of the cast iron material.
