Shelf Keep

Tall books need a tall backstop.

Shelf Keep is a pair of steel bookends with 8 in uprights. Each one has a 5 in wide face and a 6 in foot that slides under your books.

The feet point inward. Keep books resting on both feet and set the pair on a level shelf at least 6 in deep.

Measure the shelf opening before ordering. The uprights need 8 in of clear height. Your books may need more.

Matte navy powder-coated steel with small cream lettering on the outside faces. Felt pads sit beneath the feet. Made in Tennessee.

Includes two bookends. Books and shelf are separate. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry.

Steel gauge and stock thickness are not recorded in the current shop specification. Ask us to confirm thickness before ordering.

Made in the USA
