FAQs
How tall are the Gremlin Book Ends?

Are these suitable for holding very heavy books?
They are designed for standard book collections. While sturdy, extremely heavy or oversized art books may require additional support.
Can I use these outdoors?
No, these are intended for indoor decorative use only. Exposure to moisture or direct sunlight may fade the hand-painted finish.

How should I clean the figures?

Troubleshooting
Bookends sliding on a smooth shelf
Apply small adhesive silicone or rubber furniture pads to the bottom of the bases to increase grip.
Dust accumulation in intricate sculpted areas
Use a clean, soft-bristled makeup brush or a canned air duster on a low setting to remove debris from small crevices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Gremlin Book Ends is straightforward: simply position the base units at either end of your book row to provide support. To ensure stability, ensure the shelf surface is level. Because these items are hand-painted, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the painted finish. Instead, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently dust the sculptures. If the base picks up any dust or debris, wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately to preserve the structural integrity of the base.
