This statue adds a touch of "sexy-ness" to my pool area.  I wanted to find something that was different and, of course, had a merman and this fulfilled my vision.  The gold trim shimmers in the sun just like a fish out of water does, making it pretty realistic.  I would have given it five stars, but because it is a little less heavy weighted than I was expecting I chose a four star rating.  Happy with the purchase!
