Product Information
Full details
The Orsina Onyx Bookends are designed for bibliophiles and interior design enthusiasts looking to organize their library with a sophisticated, contemporary accent. These pieces offer the significant benefit of heavy-duty structural support for large book collections while serving as unique art pieces due to their natural stone banding. A key caveat is their substantial weight, which requires a sturdy bookshelf surface to prevent sagging or damage to delicate wooden shelves.

FAQs
Are the two bookends identical in color?
No, because onyx is a natural stone, each piece features unique banding and variations in the green color palette.
How much do the bookends weigh together?
The set has a combined weight of 5.80 kg.
Can these be used outdoors?
While onyx is durable, these are intended for indoor decorative use; prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may damage the finish.
Will they scratch my wooden bookshelves?
The base is made of natural stone, which can be abrasive. We recommend applying felt pads to the bottom to protect your furniture.
What are the dimensions of each piece?
Each bookend measures H15 x L6 x W15 cm.
How do I clean the onyx if it gets stained?
Use a damp cloth with water. Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar or lemon juice, as these can etch the stone surface.
Troubleshooting
Bookends sliding on smooth shelves
Apply small, non-slip silicone or felt furniture pads to the base of each bookend to increase grip.
Surface of the onyx looks dull
Wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth, then immediately buff with a dry, soft microfiber towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up these bookends, simply place them at the desired intervals on a flat, load-bearing shelf surface. Ensure the surface is rated to hold the combined weight of the bookends (5.80 kg) plus the weight of your books to avoid bowing. For care, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which can dull the polished surface of the onyx. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust; follow up with a dry microfiber cloth if you wish to restore the stone's natural sheen.
