This is a very nice piece, but it's HUGE!  I should've paid closer attention to the dimensions.  I thought it was going to be something that I could display on a table or a shelf, but it's way too large for that.  I ended up putting it in the corner of a bedroom for a little decorative touch.  It works well in the corner, but there's no way I'd be able to use this on a table or a shelf.  The picture doesn't really give you anything to judge the scale of the size of the piece by.
