When I received my nautical bookends I didn't know what I was going to get when I opened the box. Upon opening it I was blown away to the beauty of them. The are the most awesome bookends ever. I am so glad that I got them and I enjoy them on my mantle holding Roots and the Bi- Cenntenial series. 

Pros: Great price, the ship is beautiful and I love them
Cons: A little light but can be made heavier if need be....
