The first shipment arrived on time but one of the bookends was broken, snapped off at the right angle of the book (at the base). Wayfair agreed to replace and the new set arrived in less than a week. The replacements work well. Kind of cheesy but in a good way (we think). It's obvious they aren't antiques or made of solid metal but neither do they look cheap or plasticky.... Sturdy - bearing in mind one of the previous set broke in transit - and will easily keep small to mid-sized books in place. I'm not sure these would work so well for large/heavy books? Dimensions cited online are exact. Also a good price.
