Heavy Duty 10" Bookends, Non-Skid Base, Black, Pair (93142)

I put those to handle all my music books, some of them are very heavy, and it did handle them good. I have been trying a lot of different ones, and this one hold the best. Very impressive. Will buy this again for my other books.

These are so heavy duty that we use them to press and hold flattened cardboard boxes in the garage and even plywood!

Love these book ends. I have cookbooks and recipe notebooks that would never stand up. I use these and what a difference it has made. Now I'm not worried about everything sliding around and falling over in the bookcase. Very sturdy. Would purchase again if warranted.

These are great. I wanted them heavy duty so they wouldn't bend under the weight of large books. They are working well and are sturdy.

I have ordered three different low-profile style bookends from Amazon, and this set is the best. Well worth the price, they're heavy--I didn't throw them on the scale, but I'm thinking at least 1.5 lbs each end. Nonbendable metal, well painted, with an excellent rubberized bottom: you need not do a thing to them (e.g add felt, etc.). Just pop them right onto your favorite shelf, and they won't mar the surface at all. Note that the bottoms--the part that goes under the books--on each end is about 6 inches. Together, the undersides are thus, 12 inches. So, you'd have to have at least 12 inches of books to fill these out. You could have less, and have them tilt diagonally between the bookends, and you could space these out infinitely. But, if you want your books straight upright, because the undersides cannot well overlap, you will need 12 inches of books (if that makes sense). I am delighted with the non-bendable, strong nature of these satin black bookends. Much more slender and useful than larger, more cumbersome bookends--you know, the ones with Rodan's "The Thinker" on each end, hogging up valued shelf space. I loved these so much after one set, I bought two more from Amazon. These are winners. A++++ And, thank you. Happy reading, friends.

Strong and don't slip. Far better than others that are not as strong.

I was stumped on where to find bookends for some of my larger and heavier books. I didn't need anything decorative or fancy, but those standard black metal bookends you find at the office supply stores are weak and bend too easily when they are used with heavy books. This was a quandary, to be sure. Then I discovered this pair of bookends by Officemate. These are the first "black metal bookends" I have ever seen that are TRULY heavy duty. These aren't the wimpy metallic jobs that cower when confronted with Shakespeare's unabridged works; no, these are game changers that define a new category in literature support. What makes these so awesome? 1) They are heavy, thick, substantial pieces of metal. The difference in heft between these and "standard" metal bookends is like night and day. You could probably commit a felony with these, but I'd advise against it. 2) They are rigid. Yes, if you really push hard you can bend them a bit, but they will don't give in easily. 3) The bottoms are lined with foam to prevent them from scratching your shelves. Not thin, flimsy foam that is already starting to peel off before you finish unwrapping them, but good thick foam (see my photo). 4) Unlike most metal bookends, these don't have that annoying horizontal piece that extends out away from the books taking away a few inches of shelf space. Go ahead, challenge these with a few volumes of Dostoevsky. Entrust them with your heaviest art history books. Heck, throw a full-color world atlas in there while you're at it. These bookends can take it, and I will definitely be purchasing more of them.

These are huge. They work to hold up the biggest coffee table books I have. I suggest you read the size description carefully - I thought I did but they were way too big for my intended use. I kept them because they were very sturdy and I found a different use for them.

There are not many options for bookends that are tall enough and strong enough to work with LPs (vinyl records) but these do the job well.

Die perfekte Bücherstütze für große und schwere Sach- und Fachbücher! Achtung: für Krimis und Romane definitiv etwas überdimensioniert! Mit "groß" meine ich Bücher, die gerne mal 30-35cm hoch sind! Nachdem ich von den "LdawyDE Buchstütze, Buchstützen Metal Book“ (von mir nur ein *) so richtig, richtig enttäuscht war, war die Freude bei diesen Buchstützen umso größer. Sie sind genau so, wie sie in der Erklärung beschrieben werden: Groß, stabil und schwer genug für o.g. Bücher und Dank der großen Auflagefläche eigentlich unumkippbar ;-) ! Man kann auch mal ein Buch aus der Mitte ziehen, ohne das der Rest die Buchstützen ins Wanken bringt... Von mir die volle Punktzahl: *****

Received one piece only. As advertised, I should receive One Pair (2 pieces). Very disappointed since I will not be able to use this product

I am really pleased with this product. I am glad I purchased these Bookends. It's very sturdy and looks neat.

Very heavy bookends I used for a different purpose however they were perfect for that heavy metal felt on the bottom nice bookends.
