This chrome-plated, galvanized bookend from Ikea is a 50/50 I’d say. It’s placed on both ends to support an upright row of books. Besides its contemporary design it’s also pretty functional to hold the books from falling over.
Boldly designed and also reasonably priced (between RM 3-6 in West Malaysia), this is one couple of anchors that holds everything in between ridiculously cramped! Now that’s the ONLY setback, when I attach the anchors to both ends it’s not easy to remove, so to throw in another comic or two would make it seem so darn crowded. Maybe that’s the whole purpose of having bookends—so that no books will fall off the shelves again!
This one will be perfect for home décor, in fact, the designers, K. and M. Hagberg, the guys deserve a standing ovation. As in practicality, maybe a 4-star should be sufficient.
