Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your bookends is straightforward: simply place them on a flat, level surface and align them against the ends of your books. For best results, ensure the shelf surface is sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the bookends and your collection.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the gold-tone finish.
- Protection: If placing these on delicate wood surfaces, consider adding small felt pads to the underside to prevent potential scratching from the metal base.
