Just got these thinker bookends and wow, they're actually pretty cool! The bronze resin figures have this artsy vibe that makes my bookshelf look way more sophisticated.

The anti-slip base works great - no more books sliding around like they're trying to escape. They hold my heavy hardcovers without any drama.

Package arrived intact (unlike some reviews mentioned) with good protective foam. The weight feels substantial enough, though not as heavy as pure metal would be.

Love how they double as decor when I'm not using them for books. Currently displaying them on my office desk when not in use - gets lots of compliments!

Only gripe? The thinker's posture makes dusting a bit tricky. Those thoughtful bronze guys collect dust in their thoughtful crevices.
