From the Spectrum Elements collection, these small steel bookends keep books standing upright on shelves, desks, and countertops. Each bookend measures 5.5 inches high by 3.75 inches wide by 2.25 inches deep. That compact size suits short shelf runs, side tables, and desktops where a large bookend would look out of proportion. The U-shaped open frame holds the row steady while leaving covers and spines in full view. An L-shaped base slides under the first book and uses the weight of the row to stay in place. You can pull out a single volume without the rest of the row tipping over. The steel holds heavy hardcovers, cookbooks, and vinyl records without bending. They arrive ready to use, and a damp cloth keeps them clean.
