Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kikkerland Bookend Men Pushing
Customer Review: Darn it - I adore their look but they didn't work
Summary: 3 Stars
These bookends are really stylish and I think they are cool and unique.
Unfortunately, they are just impractical for any significant volume of books. They aren't heavy enough and the legs of the "pushing men" aren't sufficiently broad.
I took one of my books out of the stack and when I replaced it the entire stack fell over and one of my poor men fell. Unfortunately, he lost his head. Very sad after I had him for only two weeks. We hardly ever buy stylish homewares like this and I was quite upset, even though I know it was solely my own fault as I had already judged the bookends to be too light for the application I bought them for.
My husband is going to try to glue the head back on and we are planning on buying some cheap metal bookends to glue to the "wall" of this set of bookends. That way, we get a strong set of bookends with some fun styling.
The bookends arrived safely and quickly. I really do love them and am hoping our fix will allow them to be used and not relegated to becoming a decoration on the shelf. (Well, one of them anyway)
My only comment is that the two men are exactly identical. I think this is a little bizzare as it means that one will always look away. That is obvious from the picture! It is just not something I really noticed until they arrived. Somehow I would have expected the two men to be mirror images so they can both look out from the bookshelf.
