I love my Good Shepherd Statue. For the time being I have it in the front window in my foyer. Since we are in a cold weather climate, I am hesitant to put it in the backyard. We took down a huge tree and I am going to put it up on top of the remaining stump when the spring weather comes. 
There was a little damage to the box and I was worried that something might be wrong, but it was packed very well and was just fine.
