I bought this figure to put under a sloping tree in my garden.  I love her base as it gives her a light, airy look.  I found the metal to be rather fragile, especially the "wings" which have  been hard to keep in place.  However, she is so charming quietly sitting under the tree surrounded by blooming bushes and ferns that I am quite happy with my purchase. One good feature is that she is large enough to have presence in the garden.
