Product Information
Full details
The CKB LTD Penguin Bookends are an ideal organizational solution for book lovers, students, and office workers seeking to add a touch of whimsy to their storage. These black powder-coated steel bookends provide robust support for collections of books, folders, and notebooks while preventing them from toppling over. While they offer a distinct, playful silhouette that enhances any décor, the open cut-out design may not be suitable for extremely thin or small pamphlets that could slip through the gaps.

How many bookends come in the package?

Can they be used on a metal desk?

Troubleshooting
Bookends slide on very slick surfaces.
Ensure the surface is free of dust and debris; clean the rubber pads with a damp cloth to restore friction.
Books leaning over the top of the bookend.
Ensure the bookend is flush against the books and that the collection is not over-extended for the size of the unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the CKB LTD Penguin Bookends is straightforward: simply position them at the ends of your intended book collection. No assembly is required. They are compatible with most standard shelving units, desks, and side tables. To maintain their appearance, dust the steel surfaces periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the powder-coated finish. If the rubber pads accumulate dust, wipe them with a damp cloth to restore their grip efficiency.
