He sits under my oak tree, close to the birdfeeder.  I named him Fred.  He is light for his size making him easy to move.  But, not to light.  We have had  heavy winds this summer and while I have had benches blow over, he is still standing strong.  The colors seems to be staying true.  I have had him for awhile now.  I suggest keeping him out of direct sunlight.  For anyone that loves gnomes....this is a GREAT gift!
