Questions people ask

Do floating bookends damage the books?
The bottom book has a bracket slid inside its cover, so it can get creased or marked. Many people use an old or duplicate book for that spot.
How many books can a floating bookshelf hold?
It depends on the bracket size and how it is mounted, so check the listed weight limit. Most are meant for a short stack rather than a full row.
