Are these bookends sold as a pair?
Yes, this product is sold as a set of two Buddha head bookends.
Will they scratch my glass console table?
No, each bookend is equipped with discreet protective pads on the bottom to prevent scratches and surface damage.
Can these hold heavy hardcover books?
Yes, the chunky square base is designed to provide sufficient stability for most standard hardcover book collections.
How should I clean the weathered finish?
Simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water and chemical cleaners to preserve the rust-highlighted effect.
Is the finish uniform on both heads?
The set features a weathered finish with rust highlights, which may vary slightly in appearance due to the decorative design process.
Troubleshooting
Bookends sliding on smooth surfaces
Ensure the protective pads on the bottom are clean. If they remain slippery, place a thin piece of non-slip shelf liner underneath the base.
Accumulated dust in the crevices
Use a soft-bristled brush, such as a clean paintbrush, to gently dislodge dust from the detailed features of the Buddha heads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Piper Bookends is simple: place the two heads on either side of your book collection to secure them firmly. Ensure you provide enough clearance for the 11cm by 11cm base footprint. Regarding compatibility, these are suitable for most shelving materials, including wood, glass, and metal, provided the surface is level. To maintain the finish, gently dust the heads with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the weathered black and rust-highlighted patina from the surface.
