Bookends for Kids Room

Choose a figure connected to the child’s interests and check how it fits the shelf. Exact dimensions, weight, colours and specifications are listed on each product page.

Frequently asked questions

What animal and character designs do you make?

Our full bookends collection includes a sitting cat, running cat, bear, fox, hare, French bulldog, a bike rider, and an Alice in Wonderland silhouette. All are laser-cut steel, so the shapes are crisp and the details hold up.

Are these safe for a child's room — no sharp edges?

Yes. After laser cutting, every piece is hand-ground and finished before powder coating. The edges are smooth. The base keeps them upright and stable.

What finish options are available, and do the colours stay?

Most designs come in matte black powder coat, with some available in colour or patina finishes. Powder coat is cured at high temperature — it doesn't chip, scratch, or fade the way paint does.

How heavy are they, and will they actually hold books upright?

Each bookend weighs between 400g and 800g depending on the design — enough to hold a standard row of children's hardbacks or paperbacks without sliding.
