Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the 87-2037 Bookend made from?
▾
The bookend is constructed from a solid metal alloy that provides weight and durability, finished with a brushed coating to resist fingerprints and minor scratches. Its dense composition helps keep books upright even when the stack is tall, and the finish complements both classic and contemporary interiors.
Does the 87-2037 Bookend support large hardcover books?
▾
The 87-2037 Bookend is engineered to hold sizable hardcover volumes, thanks to its weighted base and broad contact surface. It can comfortably support stacks up to several inches thick without tipping, making it ideal for reference collections, coffee-table books, and any heavy-bound titles you wish to display.
How should I position the bookend for optimal stability?
▾
Place the 87-2037 Bookend on the outer edge of the shelf where the books rest, ensuring the heavier side faces the stack. Align it flush with the back panel to maximize support, and avoid positioning it on uneven surfaces. For taller piles, use a second bookend on the opposite side to balance the load.
