Know before you buy
The Sycamore PI Book Ends are sold as a pair, providing two matching pieces to support your books.
Yes, these are crafted from solid sycamore wood, which provides the necessary weight and density to hold standard hardcover books securely in place.
Because each piece is handcrafted from solid sycamore, you should expect natural variations in the wood grain and shape. This is an intentional design choice that ensures every pair is unique.
The hand-applied varnish finish is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water.
Each individual bookend measures 4 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 7.5 inches high.
