I really wanted to love this heart garden stake but I don't. However hearts have a very sentimental meaning to me so I will not return it. I am hoping it will grow on me.

To explain my rating -- First thing I noticed was it has a very strong chemical smell. I am sure this will go away after being outside in the air but while unpackaging the item, it was a bit overwhelming. Next, the gem is not as pretty as it looks in the photos and it is hanging from a black, thicker and shorter string so instead of hanging in the middle of the heart, it is right below the rocks and instead of almost not being able to see how it is hanging, you can see the black string from many feet away. And about the "rocks", several are broken on the edges. This was noticed upon taking it out of the packaging but no broken pieces were in the box so it was packaged like this.
