Know before you buy
With a combined weight of 5 pounds, these resin bookends are sturdy enough for standard-sized books. However, if you are shelving very large or heavy coffee table books, you may need additional support to prevent sliding.
The bookends are cast in high-quality designer resin and finished in antique brass tones. While they mimic the look of aged metal, they are lightweight and have a matte, textured appearance rather than a polished metallic shine.
The base is made of resin, which is generally safe for wood surfaces. To be extra cautious, you can easily apply small felt pads to the bottom of each piece to ensure complete protection against scratches.
These are sold as a set of two, featuring one feline figure and one owl figure. They are designed to be used together to anchor your books on either side.
Each individual piece measures 5 inches wide, 7.5 inches high, and 3.5 inches deep. When placed together, they occupy a total width of 10 inches, making them well-suited for standard bookshelves or display mantels.
