The Thinker bookends July 25, 2006 C. Watts (Anderson, CA) 24 out of 24 found this review helpful
The design of the bookends does not support the books and they tend to lean sideways.

Unfortunately these bookends probably weigh under 1 pound making them useless for actually holding any books in place. If you want a low priced set of thinking men scupltures made from resin maybe these are for you, but if you are like me and were actually wanting a product that would hold your books then I would advise you to find other bookends.

I ordered these for a graduation present and was very disappointed with the quality. They feel cheap, and are not heavy enough to really function as bookends. I want to send them back, but wonder if it is worth it to pay return shipping. Don't get stuck with these.

Am I wrong to think that a bookend should be heavy enough to hold up books? These bookends, while having a decent enough appearance, have the heft of a cheap plastic toy.
Oddly, the product description gives the shipping weight as 6 pounds. These items are nowhere near 3 pounds each. My postal scale puts them at 11 ounces each. Maybe heavy enough to hold up a couple of paperbacks.
