Troubleshooting

Bookends not holding books upright

Ensure the bookends are placed on a level surface and are spaced appropriately for the books. Check that the books are not too heavy for the bookends' weight capacity, or try grouping books closer together for better support.

Surface underneath bookends is scratched

While designed for stability, place a protective felt pad or thin mat under the bookends if you are concerned about scratching delicate surfaces. Clean the bottom of the bookends to remove any debris that could cause scratches.

Silver finish appears dull or smudged

Gently wipe the bookends with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If smudges persist, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid polishing compounds unless specifically designed for aluminum.
