These bookends are sooo cute!!  The problem is the one sitting up is not balanced correctly.  Her bottom is lumpy and not a flat surface so it rocks.  There is not allot of weight to these so you can only hold together 10 DVDs or two books without everything falling over.  Once I was able to secure the one firmly in place so it didn't slide the other held the DVDs perfectly.  I have them holding my exercise DVDs and it is too cute.  Just wish it sat firmly on the table and was a little heavier otherwise they are perfect for decorating on a shelf or hutch but needs more stability for holding books.
