First off, let me just say these marble bookends are *stunning*. The moment I unboxed them, the weight (7lbs!) and cool, smooth texture immediately screamed luxury. They’re not just functional—they’re a decor upgrade.

I’ve used them in my home office to corral my ever-growing stack of design books. Unlike flimsy bookends I’ve tried before, these actually *stay put*. The anti-slip pads work like a charm on my wooden shelf, even when I yank out books aggressively (we’ve all been there).

The Bianco Fiora color is softer than expected—more like a creamy off-white with delicate gray veins—which turned out to be a happy surprise. It blends seamlessly with my neutral decor while adding subtle texture. Pro tip: They also work wonders for organizing vinyl records!

My only gripe? They’re *so* heavy that I had to rethink shelf placement after one nearly toppled onto my foot. But hey, that heft is exactly what keeps my books standing tall. Worth every penny for both form and function.
