Alleah Gray Bookends, Set of 2

This design offers the best of both worlds: the high-end, sophisticated aesthetic of genuine marble and the exceptional structural durability of concrete. While solid stone can sometimes be brittle, the concrete interior provides a resilient foundation that is less prone to cracking, while the marble veneer ensures a consistent, contemporary pattern that elevates your office or living room shelving.

While these bookends are designed for stability, concrete is a naturally abrasive material. Based on our general furniture care expertise, we recommend placing small felt or rubber pads on the bottom surface if you are using them on delicate surfaces like high-polish wood or glass. This prevents surface friction while maintaining the grip needed to keep your book collection secure.

Yes. These bookends are constructed with a concrete core, which provides significant weight and density compared to lighter wooden or hollow metal alternatives. This solid construction ensures they remain stable and effective at holding upright heavy volumes, such as textbooks or oversized coffee table books, without sliding.

These bookends are an excellent choice for urban apartment living or minimalist layouts. With a slim 2.5-inch depth, they provide necessary support for your library without occupying significant horizontal shelf space. Their compact 4.5-inch height also makes them ideal for shorter floating shelves where vertical clearance may be limited.

To preserve the luster of the marble veneer, our care guides recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, you may use a cloth slightly dampened with a mixture of mild soap and water. It is important to avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can dull the finish and damage the veneer's protective sealant.
