Officemate Bookends, Heavy Weighted 10-inch Steel, Black (93182)

I have bought these multiple times. At first, it was to legitimately keep heavy books upright. Then I started using them to keep boxes from falling off shelves. Then I started using them to keep some equipment from falling over. They're sturdy, large, easy to clean, and I've had no issues with the nonslip material on the bottom.

I’m using these for heavy, oversized art books. They are solid and the simple design complements the collection.

Does what we need it to do. Easily holds text book sized books. Nice lo

Like other reviewers said, these bookends are heavy and very slip resistant. Not made of flimsy sheet metal, they are rigid and stay in place, even with my large, heavy reference books!

I recently bought a folding 3-tier bookcase, and while it will take a great deal of weight, I didn't notice that the way it's designed, there's no way to keep the books from falling off the sides of the top and bottom shelves, and even the middle shelf is a bit iffy. Dumb me :-P Since I have a lot of seriously heavyweight books (for example, huge backbreaking textbooks and full-up binders) that need to go on the bottom, I must have looked through every bookend on Amazon... and I was lucky to find these. Now nothing is tumbling off my bookcase, sides or no sides, and I love not only the sturdy weight, but also the height. They are absolutely no-skid, with a rubbery pad covering the whole bottom, not just a couple of sticky dots.I just purchased a second set because they do the job so well. Yes, there are cheaper bookends out there, but these are definitely worth the price.

These are weighty, have a deep, padded bottom, and don’t take up any extra space on the shelf. I have some large text books along with paperback all in the same row. Solid. I’m ordering more.Also, if you larger, heavy books close enough to be on the bottom plate, it’s all the more sturdy.

Heavy duty and very good quality. These hold many books, big or small. Does not slide on surface unless not supported by even weight.

Heavy enough to hold large books. One improvement would be the "non slip" is smooth thin foam and still slides around. Replacement of the foam with rubber. Overall one of the better book ends on Amazon.
