Know before you buy
Yes, the Koma bookend is heavy enough to act as a standalone support if you are propping books against a wall or the side of a shelf. However, if you are placing books in the middle of an open shelf, you will need a pair to secure them from both ends.
No, the base is lined with felt to ensure your surfaces remain protected. This soft layer also provides a bit of extra grip to prevent the bookend from sliding.
Each piece weighs 3.0 lbs (1350 g). This substantial weight is specifically designed to provide the necessary stability to keep heavy books upright without tipping.
The brass is left in its natural cast state, meaning it will develop a unique patina over time as it reacts to the air and touch. If you prefer to keep it bright, you can occasionally polish it with a standard brass cleaner.
These are sold as individual units. You can purchase one if you only need a single support, or two if you require a pair for a freestanding row of books.
