Firstly, I wanted to say how much I love the name “Sentinels Of Storytelling," it absolutely encompasses what this piece is about. The bookend is the perfect addition to my reading nook, with a simple yet stylish design, in black and gold, that matches my aesthetic to a tee. The sentinels hold up my books very well and the quality is superb. Thank you, How Rare for these amazing products! I strongly recommend them.
