{"product_id":"tamera-marble-bookends-set-of-2-charcoal","title":"Tamera Marble Bookends Set of 2 – Charcoal","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set of two marble bookends brings a solid, grounded feel to a shelf or desk. Each piece takes a quarter-circle shape with a curved outer edge and a flat vertical side, so a run of books sits neatly held between them. The dark grey to black stone carries soft natural veining, meaning no two sets look exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarble gives real weight, which is what keeps paperbacks and hardbacks upright without sliding. We like the way the two halves read as one form when placed at either end of a short shelf, then work just as well spaced further apart on a longer run. The matt-toned surface pairs easily with wood, metal and painted furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse them in a study, on a living room shelf or in a home office to keep reference books and cookbooks in order. Felt or a smooth base helps protect the surface underneath. A practical choice for anyone who wants their books held firmly with a plain, sculptural shape rather than something busy or bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack stone with grey veining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet includes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 bookends\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuarter-circle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300mm W x 40mm D x 150mm H (set)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural stone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the two bookends identical?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey match in shape and size, but the natural marble veining varies slightly between the pieces, so each set is a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill they hold heavy hardback books?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
