Five stars for the gnomes themselves, which are nicely constructed, nicely painted, and taller than I expected. But the packaging was very poor. Each gnome comes in two pieces, and while each gnome is packed in separate bubble wrap, the two pieces for each are placed next to each other in that bubble wrap. The result is dings and also scratches to the nice painting (see the picture with the black scrapes). I'm not bothering to return them because they're going to be outside anyway, but FYI.
