I gave maintenance a good as I have not displayed it long enough to judge but I hope it keeps its color, etc. as it will be in the hot summer sun of South Carolina gracing our small water fall pond. We positioned it to appear as if the bear was swooping the fish out of the falling water. I had to laugh when I saw a neighbor's friend take a double look from her car to make sure of what she was seeing! It seems very life-like with much detail which makes it appear real. It is not overly large but big enough and for our place it is absolutely the perfect size! If it wears as well as it looks it will be nearly perfect!
