Product Information
Full details
The CKB LTD Kitchen Utensils Bookends are designed for home cooks, food enthusiasts, and office professionals looking to bring both organization and character to their bookshelves or kitchen counters. These metal bookends provide a sturdy, reliable way to keep cookbooks, recipe folders, and notebooks upright, though their specific cut-out design may not be suitable for extremely thin or small pamphlets that could slip through the gaps. Combining a fun cooking-themed silhouette with a durable matte finish, they serve as a functional decorative piece for kitchens, dining areas, or workspaces.

FAQs
Are these bookends heavy enough for large cookbooks?
Yes, they are made of durable metal and designed specifically to provide the necessary weight to support heavy recipe books and binders.
Can I use these on a glass shelf?
Yes, the included rubber anti-slip pads protect glass surfaces from scratches and help maintain stability.
What are the dimensions of each bookend?
Each individual bookend in the set measures 17cm by 10cm by 10cm.
Does the set include two bookends?
Yes, each purchase includes a set of two matching bookends.
Will the metal rust if kept in a kitchen?
The bookends feature a protective matte powder-coated finish designed to resist typical kitchen moisture, provided they are kept dry.
Troubleshooting
Bookends sliding on smooth surfaces
Clean the rubber pads on the bottom of the bookends with a damp cloth to remove any dust or grease that may be affecting their grip.
Surface being scratched
Verify that all four rubber feet are attached to the base. If a pad has come off, ensure it is reattached firmly or contact support for a replacement.
Visible dust on the matte finish
Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the powder-coated surface. Avoid wet, soapy cleaners to maintain the matte aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the two bookends on either side of your book collection to provide support. They are compatible with most standard wooden or metal shelving units. For care, keep the bookends in optimal condition by wiping them down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Because of the matte powder-coated finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the coating. If you notice any wobbling, ensure the rubber pads are clean and free of debris, which will allow them to maintain maximum grip on your display surface.
