I wanted something decorative for the top shelf of my hutch in the basement foyer and when I saw this pair of pachyderm beauties I thought they might be just what I was looking for.  I was right.  When they arrived (packaged very carefully) and I unwrapped them, I was pleasantly surprised.  I love the color and design and they are made well and sturdy.  They are also classy and sophisticated and remind me of my favorite college football team (Roll Tide!).  I am very happy with my purchase.
