FAQs
Are these bookends sold as a pair?
Yes, the product is designed as a set to provide balanced support for your books.
Can I use these to hold up very heavy encyclopedias?
Yes, with a combined weight of 2.93 kg, they are specifically designed to support substantial book collections.
Will the marble stain if it gets wet?
Marble is porous. While casual contact with water is usually fine if wiped immediately, you should avoid prolonged exposure to liquids, oils, or pigmented substances.
Do the patterns on the marble match the photos exactly?
Because they are made of natural, handmade marble, each set will feature unique veining, making every piece slightly different from the next.
What are the dimensions of each bookend?
Each unit measures 6 cm in length, 21 cm in width, and 11.5 cm in height.
Troubleshooting
Bookends sliding on smooth surfaces
Apply small, clear adhesive silicone or felt bumpers to the bottom to increase friction and protect the shelf surface.
Surface appears dull over time
Use a specialized marble polishing cream or a simple dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface gently and restore shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Genoa Cloud Bookends is straightforward: simply place them on a flat, stable surface at either end of your book row. Given their weight, ensure that your shelf material (glass, wood, or laminate) is sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the bookends and the books. To maintain the marble's luster, wipe the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, vinegar, or acidic substances, as these can etch the stone or cause permanent discoloration. If liquids are spilled, blot them immediately with a damp cloth rather than rubbing. If you are placing these on delicate wood surfaces, consider adding small felt pads to the underside to prevent potential scratching.
