I bought this Nambu Tekki paperweight for my home office, and it’s been a solid addition. The cast iron feels substantial and well-made, with a smooth, matte finish. At 6x6x2.2cm, it’s compact but heavy enough to hold papers securely. While beautiful, I wish it had a bit more visual flair—maybe some texture or color variation. Still, for $35, it’s a decent blend of function and minimalist design. Just hoping when will the government shutdown end so I can focus on enjoying small things like this.
