Review: A good one, looks just a described and very practical. - Just as described. Looks absolutely great and gives a bookshelf a cool look. Very simple and doesn’t look bulky. Definitely happy, looks amazing with my new made.com bookshelf. It is light but it supports all the soft cover books well.
Review: "The Reader" in black - simple, fun addition to the bookshelf... - I have it against a short row of full-sized (that is, rather thick hardcover) books and it has not slipped or slid at all. While it's true these books would probably stand by themselves fairly stably, the bookend hasn't shifted at all. It's not too light but not super heavy. The finish looks good and has a nice feel to it. As a bookend it's adequate to the task. The price isn't exorbitant. All in all, thumbs up - I'd recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Give a fun touch to your library
*by M***E on 30 July 2018*

I have this book holder for a month now and finally I can give an honest review. It arrived quite quick, in the box you will find JUST ONE OF THIS, not a pair, and actually is well specified by the seller. When I removed it from the box the first thing I noticed is that it was quite light with 4 rubber spots at the base to increase the grip, but my thought was "will it old my book on place?"... and the answer after a month is "sure it did!", it is on its place holding 5 heavy big books (taller than the item and all around 900+ pages) and it didn't move an inch. The stile is quite nice, and is well maid with still paint of black, I liked it first sight and I'm very happy with it. I just gave 4 stars because I guess that if I have to put more book it will start to slipper so in that case you will have to put a kind of stop in front of it. But at the moment it is a good purchese.
