Troubleshooting

Bookends sliding on smooth surfaces

Place a small piece of non-slip shelf liner or rubber pads (sold separately) under each bookend to provide better grip.

Bookends not holding books upright

Ensure the bookends are placed on a level surface and that the weight of the books is distributed evenly. For very heavy collections, consider using multiple sets or placing them closer together.

Dust accumulation on detailed areas

Use a soft brush (like a makeup brush or small paintbrush) to gently remove dust from intricate details. Follow up with a soft, dry cloth for the main surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your Gates of Argonath Bookends, simply remove them from their collector's packaging. Place one bookend at each end of the books or items you wish to support on a flat, stable surface like a bookshelf or desk. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before placement.

Compatibility: These bookends are compatible with most standard books, DVDs, Blu-rays, and small memorabilia. For very heavy or extensive collections, it is advisable to use them on sturdy shelving and potentially supplement with additional supports.

Care: To maintain the appearance of the bookends, dust them regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is not wet. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the hand-painted finish. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time.
