Each of the 4 pieces carries 4 anti-slip foam pads, and the maker claims the pads let the bookends stay put without scratching the desk. The listing states 18 months of after-sales service. No contradiction between the title, bullets and spec table.

Who it's for: a shelf that needs two pairs with a decorative touch. Who should skip it: anyone who wants the tallest bookend, since the 8 in VFINE stands taller.
