First set arrived broken in flimsy styrofoam that broke and went everywhere when I opened the box. Wayfair was great at sending a replacement, but the second set was much brighter silver, and the paint rubbed off my my fingers. Don’t rely on these to hold any substantially heavy books — I tried and one half slid off my open bookshelves!  Thankfully it didn’t shatter, but lesson learned. These are great decorations, but not really practical.
