I'm very satisfied with these bookends. They can hold back some good weight and they add a bit of style to any office. The products arrived in a timely fashion.

Pretty basic bookends, but worked great. Held up our really big, heavy Encyclopedias. They are also not very visible which is nice. I'll buy these again as we acquire more books and shelving.

My husband and I bought these for our granddaughter who attends Oklahoma State University.  She has lots of technical books, and they are large and heavy.  These bookends do the job of holding them.  She is delighted with them, especially since she loves horses.  I recommend them highly.

These bookends preform as expected. They hold my books quite well, just as one purchasing bookends would expect.

Bought 3 sets (of 2 pairs) in black.
These bookends are very strong and hold books of all sizes and weights perfectly straight and tightly together.
Even full 4" loose leaf binders and large Art books are held perfectly.
They have protective pads on the bottom that prevent scratching and grip the shelf.
Their shape allows books to be put directly against the sides of the bookcase with no wasted space.
I like that the ends have holes in them so that the books can breath and won't have moisture buildup.

These bookends are nice looking and very functional.  They are of the perfect weight to hold back heavy tall books from falling.  The figures are also too juvenile for an adult library.

Great bookends - beautiful finish, symmetry and perfect size! After buying and returning a 4-6 lb set from another seller, I learned from reviews that most people are happy with 6-9 lbs. Anything below that size is a toss up in terms of quality, symmetry and effectiveness as bookends. Your best chances for "as-pictured" quality, go with the 6-9 lbs sets.

What can you say about bookends?

The color is fine (they are in a cabinet so who cares).

There are three reasons why you should buy these guys instead of some of the alternative offerings:
1. They are an L shape instead of an inverted T.  As a result they don't interfere with other objects on the shelf
2.  They are tall enough to get the job done without being too tall to fit on a shelf dedicated to paperbacks.
3.  They are inexpensive.

Beautiful bookends! Look just as good as the pictures. I have them holding around 20 books currently - extremely functional.

Bookends which I have purchased in the past are ,in my experience, just one size and don't work well with every kind of book. These do. plus each end has an insert just made for a few DVD's or CD's .So convenient

These were a bit bigger than I expected, but the measurements match the specs, so that's my bad. They are heavy and sturdy, and they hold up cookbooks handily. I'm very pleased with them.

The non-skid pads work well. When there are heavy books on them, it's hard to slide the bookend over to make room for another book. But I'd rather it be that way than having them fall over.

I love these!  I use them to organize my binders, as well as book marks.

I ordered a pair of these bookends, and I was so pleased with their strength and classy design that I ordered a second pair. I'm a lifelong book lover and a librarian so bookends are important to me.

If you're considering these or any other bookends, please make sure you check the dimensions of what you need for your books. These are taller than most, and are meant to contain large books. I highly recommend them!

These are SUCH good quality!!! Heavy and solid material (bronze?) and professionally crafted I completely recommend these bookends! They make my financial office look exceedingly professional. Well done!!!

These bookends appear delicate but they are sturdy and hold books well. They sit on the top of my bookshelf and hold my books in place. Well worth the money!

I needed three sets of heavy bookends. I didn't really think these would be strong enough, but tried them any way. Turns out they are just exactly what I needed. The metal is much stonger than I expected, and they are able to hold up even my largest volumes with ease. Will buy more when needed.

These book ends are even more beautiful then the first set I purchased. They are doing a great job holding my books, and are holding 14 books just fine. they also arrived very fast, in 3 days from Ohio, to Idaho. great service. I will purchase more items from this vendor.
