Description

These darling vase-inspired bookends from Urban Outfitters are just the thing to complete a shelf. Rest them on each side of your books, and it'll feel like they're greeting you each time you reach for your next read. The terracotta construction ensures that they're hefty enough to hold books of varying sizes and brings a sunny vibe to your bookshelf, thanks to the rich burnt orange color. Be warned, these sturdy, metal Office Depot bookends might give you nostalgia for your elementary school library. And speaking of schools: They're a great option if you're looking for some of the best bookends for textbooks or binders. And if you're wondering about your heaviest cookbooks? They're great for those, too. One important note: Despite their shape, these bookends aren't actually designed to hold water or live plants. This might be disappointing to fans of freshly cut bouquets, but think about it this way: Do you really want something that could leak or drip to be in close proximity to your favorite books? We would rather play it safe. After all, a beautiful collection of dried flowers makes a lovely alternative to live ones. With bookends, you want to ensure you're selecting a piece that has some weight to it, or one that's designed to use the weight of your books to hold it in place—either design can be effective. Our "Best Overall" selection, the Main + Mesa Marble Geometric Bookends with Wood Inlay, is a great example of the former, while the "Best Budget" pair, the Shikaman Decorative Metal Bookends, is the latter. You'll also want to note the dimensions of the bookends, just to make sure they're an appropriate size for the surface you plan to stand them on. These bookends are made of sturdy steel, and they have rounded edges and an enamel coating that saves them from feeling too utilitarian. Subtle foam padding on the bottom protects your shelf surfaces from scratches or marks—and it helps the bookends stay in place, too. While they're made of relatively thin metal, they're on the heavier side for this style of bookend. Their dimensions are also quite large, and while their measurements are a key factor for their overall durability, we wouldn't mind seeing more sizes. After all, smaller books can sometimes need extra reinforcement, too.

The material of your bookends not only factors into their appearance, but it can also contribute to their durability. Sometimes heavy wood or marble materials, while attractive and hardy, can be prone to chipping. Metal bookends tend to be more lightweight and found in designs that use the weight of the books themselves to keep them in place, though they can warp or bend over time, depending on the design. Ultimately, the choice of material can really come down to your personal preference and decor tastes.
