Product Insights
These wavy concrete bookends from Simons Maison offer unique travertine-like patterns with rough, pitted surfaces and adhesive foam pads for non-slip grip, priced at $18 CAD. Their 4.75-inch height minimizes tipping but limits use to 3-4 small books, and the unsealed porous concrete requires sealer and soft brush care to control patina from oil absorption.
- Weight
Each bookend weighs about 3.1 lb, enough to hold hardcovers without creeping.
Why this is supported
Deep research estimated each bookend at 3.1 lb using concrete density and the product's dimensions.
I love these! They are the perfect heaviness and great quality.
Customer review, October 9, 2025The dense construction gives a high weight-to-footprint ratio that anchors books without sliding.
- Grip
Adhesive foam pads prevent sliding on glass or glossy shelves.
Why this is supported
The bookends have adhesive foam pads on the base that create friction to prevent sliding on smooth surfaces. These pads can be replaced with standard self-adhesive pads if worn.
- Stability
Low 4.75 in height minimizes tipping; best for 3-4 small books.
Why this is supported
At 4.75 inches tall, these bookends are shorter than typical arch-style concrete bookends, which are
about 6.9 inches tall and 4.7 inches wide
judeglass.com. This reduced height gives a lower tipping moment, making them inherently more stable. However, the compact size also limits capacity: as one buyer explained,
These are small but a good weight. I wanted it to display 3-4 small books on my shelf display and it looks great.
Customer review, April 15, 2026They are best suited for small book stacks.
- Size
At 4.75 inches tall, they are shorter than standard concrete bookends and suit small book displays.
Why this is supported
Standing 4.75 inches tall, these bookends are considerably shorter than typical arch-style concrete bookends, such as a competitor's product at
about 6.9 inches tall and 4.7 inches wide
judeglass.comBuyers confirm the compact size works well for small displays, with one stating:
These are small but a good weight. I wanted it to display 3-4 small books on my shelf display and it looks great.
Customer review, April 15, 2026Customer reviews attest to the size and weight: one reviewer says

Customer review, October 9, 2025. Catalog's research, based on concrete density,
puts its weight near 3.1 lb

- Aesthetic variation
Each pair has a unique travertine-like pattern from the casting process.
Why this is supported
The travertine-like texture is not a printed pattern but an inherent result of the concrete cast, so each pair features a distinct arrangement of pits and tonal variation:
The stone-veining effect is achieved through the concrete's textured cast rather than a uniform print, so the exact pattern of pitting and tonal variation is unique to every pour
Natural variation in the concrete and travertine finish — travertine_like_patterning- Surface feel
Rough, stone-like texture with unique pitting on each bookend.
Why this is supported
Q&A source states the finish is not perfectly smooth and feels similar to natural travertine stone. The casting process ensures
the exact pattern of pitting and tonal variation is unique to every pour
Natural variation in the concrete and travertine finish — travertine_like_patterning, so each bookend has a distinct tactile feel.
- Porosity
Unsealed concrete can absorb oils and develop a patina over time.
Why this is supported
According to the manufacturer,
Concrete is naturally porous and may absorb liquids; we recommend applying a clear, matte sealer if you plan to use them in areas where staining is a concern.
Is the concrete sealed or treated to prevent chipping or staining?This means the surface can absorb oils from fingers, gradually darkening and developing a patina over time.

- Care
The unsealed porous concrete requires a clear matte sealer and a soft brush for the pitted surface.
Why this is supported
The bookends are unsealed and porous, so applying a clear matte sealer is recommended to prevent staining from spills. The concrete surface naturally has irregular pits from the casting process, as one source notes:
The stone-veining effect is achieved through the concrete's textured cast rather than a uniform print, so the exact pattern of pitting and tonal variation is unique to every pour
Natural variation in the concrete and travertine finish — travertine_like_patterningThese pits collect dust and require a soft brush or compressed air for cleaning rather than a standard cloth.
