Troubleshooting
Bookends feel unstable
Ensure the surface they are placed on is completely flat and level. Check that the L-shaped brass base is fully seated on the surface.
Brass finish appears dull or tarnished
Gently wipe the brass with a soft, dry cloth. If tarnish persists, use a specific brass cleaner recommended for decorative items, testing on an inconspicuous area first, and follow instructions carefully. Avoid acidic substances.
Acrylic orb has smudges that won't wipe off
Use a soft microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water and a drop of mild dish soap. Wipe gently and then dry immediately with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Do not use window cleaner or abrasive pads.
Bookends do not hold books upright effectively
This set is best suited for lighter book collections or as a decorative element. For heavier books, consider placing them closer together or using additional support.
