Can these hold heavy hardback books?

Are these suitable for children's bedrooms?

Troubleshooting
Bookends sliding on smooth surfaces
Apply small adhesive felt pads to the underside of the wood bases to increase friction and protect your furniture surface.
Surface buildup or dust in crevices
Use a soft, dry-bristled brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove debris from the sculpted textures of the football and boot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your bookends, simply place them on a flat, level surface and slide your books or media between the two decorative ends. They are compatible with most standard shelving materials, including wood, glass, and metal. To maintain the appearance of the Harvey Makin Football Bookends, avoid using abrasive cleaning agents on the metallic-finish icons. Instead, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Because the base is wood-effect, it is recommended to keep the product away from prolonged direct moisture to prevent warping or damage to the finish.
