Bookends / book stands

Every office and household has shelves filled with books or files. The sight of a bookshelf is quite pleasing. But problems usually arise when you want to take out a book. The book next to it begins to sway dangerously and a chain reaction causes the entire row of books to collapse. This often leads to damage or dog-ears. However, this doesn't have to be the case if you rely on a small but effective helper - bookends (or reading stands) avoid this problem and prove to be very practical. Because these helpers support the books and increase their stability. Buy bookends from MAUL in different colours, prices and sizes and experience a great variety in terms of design and style. Whether wood or metal.

What are book stands used for?

Book stands (also known as reading stands) give folders and books more support with their own weight and prevent them from simply falling over. The stands, which look like large angles, support the books and give them more stability. This is a particular advantage if you want to take a book out of the row without further consequences. If you have arranged books or folders on a sideboard or open shelf, this usually results in the whole row falling over. This is a chain reaction that can be avoided by using a bookend. If you place the bookend in the right place, you no longer need to worry about it. Many book stands are not only variable in colour, but also offer a variety of sizes, and some are scratch-resistant to prevent damage to books.

But book stands are also very popular on bookshelves. The individual rows of shelves are not always completely filled with books. All it takes is one missing book for the stability to start to falter. In addition, book stands also function as a decorative accessory - both in the office and at home. After all, the bookend certainly makes a visual impact . In most cases, you need far more than two for a flat to protect all the books from tipping over. So when it comes to design, don't just pay attention to the manufacturer or that the reading stand is scratch-resistant, but also to the colour, dimensions and surface.

In addition, book stands also offer a safety factor that you should not underestimate. This is especially true if you store heavy books on higher cabinets. If you remove a book, this can have serious consequences if the other books start to sway. This is precisely when you should use bookends to ensure better stability.

Which bookends does MAUL offer?

Book stands tend to be practical helpers that differ only slightly from one another in terms of appearance. The biggest differences are in the material. Nevertheless, we differentiate between various models in our range. Metal, wood, price or colour - the choice is yours. These bookends are generally available from MAUL:

Bookends

With a bookend, books and folders can no longer fall over so easily. Bookends are available in a wide variety of designs and there are also differences in the materials used (e.g. metal). However, with a few exceptions, the basic shape is identical.

Magnetic book stands

Magnetic book stands made of metal offer the advantage over wood that they have a magnetic surface that can be used universally. For example, you have the option of attaching decorative magnets and attaching photos. Important notes can also be placed on the magnetic surfaces.

In general, you have the choice between decorative metal bookends that impress with their style and design - or you can opt for simple and functional wooden bookends that prioritise practical features. Book stands are real all-rounders that can be used anywhere. They are very popular as library supplies, for example. Wooden book stands are not only found in offices. They can also often be found in living rooms, where there is also a shelf for books. But the metal bookends also impress with their practical features in the children's room or kitchen.

What materials are bookends made from

If you want to buy bookends, you will quickly realise that these practical helpers are available in different materials. Metal is often used. However, you can also find bookends made of wood, porcelain, acrylic and plastic on the market. Some bookends even have an interesting mix of materials (e.g. acrylic with plastic). What the bookends have in common is that the underside has a non-slip coating and is often scratch-resistant. This ensures that the book stand remains securely in place. It also prevents scratches on the furniture. Which material you choose is more of an individual decision. This is because the biggest differences are in terms of appearance. Metal is an all-rounder and a classic. The surface, angle, shape, colour and material vary depending on the manufacturer. Take a look around our online shop and find the perfect bookend for your needs at the right price.
