Know before you buy
The Tide Bookend is sold as a single unit. You will need to purchase two if you intend to use them to sandwich a collection of books.
Yes, the bookend is crafted from solid steel, providing the necessary weight and structural integrity to support heavy items like art monographs, cookbooks, and record albums without tipping.
The powder-coat finish is highly durable and resistant to chipping. You can keep it clean by simply wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could dull the vibrant turquoise color.
The bookend is designed with a solid steel base that sits flush against surfaces. While it is stable, we recommend placing a small felt pad or adhesive liner underneath if you are concerned about potential scuffing on delicate wood finishes.
The Tide Bookend measures 6.3 inches in width, 7.1 inches in height, and has a depth of 5.1 inches, making it a substantial size suitable for larger volumes.
