Know before you buy
Yes, each set weighs 6 pounds in total. The solid cast iron construction provides significant weight and stability, making them well-suited for supporting substantial hardcover books.
Yes, these are crafted from durable cast iron and are designed to be suitable for both home and garden settings. However, keep in mind that cast iron may develop a natural patina or rust over time if exposed to moisture.
Each piece in the set measures 6.5 inches wide, 3.5 inches deep, and 7.5 inches high.
Yes, the product is sold as a set of two. They are designed to complement each other to anchor your books effectively on either side.
Because these are made of raw cast iron, we recommend placing a small felt pad or protective liner on the bottom if you are concerned about potential scratching on delicate surfaces.
