Stylish Raven Bookends for Home Decor - Gothic Bird Book Holders for Shelves, Office & Library Organization

I JUST got these cute book ends and I LOVE them. They are much lighter than I expected but will do the trick to hold up my books. Don't expect them to hold up heavy textbooks. They will do best with thin lightweight books, or books that can pretty much already stand on their own. The birds are very well sculpted and painted. They look anatomically correct. I'm a bird lover and very picky if birds don't look right in art and movies. I like the bad on blue on the wings that gives them that metallic sheen real feathers have. The short fat bodies, short wings, big eyes and big beaks make it obvious these guys are fledglings. They came nicely packaged. I didn't have any issues with paint chipping like some reviewers mentioned. I show a picture of the box and how they come packaged. The ones I got were not exactly face to face so I didn't have them bumping each other during shipping. They were facing a bit outward which is good. These are great on the shelf of my art room to hold up my sketch books and bullet journals and supplies.
