Product Information
Full details
The Balvi Bookends in Black are designed for avid readers, yoga enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to add a touch of tranquility and unique style to their bookshelves or desk. The key benefit is their dual functionality: they reliably keep books organized while serving as a decorative art piece. A potential caveat is that their artistic design, while appealing, might not suit all minimalist decor styles. These bookends feature two figures in serene yoga poses, crafted from durable metal, offering a harmonious blend of practicality and decorative appeal to your literary collection.

Troubleshooting
Bookends are not stable and keep sliding.
Ensure the silicone base is clean and free of dust or debris. Place the bookends on a flat, even surface. If the surface is very smooth, consider placing a thin mat underneath.
Books are not staying upright.
Check that the weight of the books is evenly distributed between the two bookends. Ensure the bookends are placed close enough to provide adequate support and not too far apart. For larger or heavier books, you may need to use more than one set.
The metal finish appears dull or has smudges.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Dry immediately with another soft cloth. Avoid using any cleaning agents.
