The gnome is very cute, colors are vibrant and met expectations of appearance. However, despite the great packing the eye-hook of the lantern was detached so I had to super glue it back on to lantern and gnome's thumb which holds lantern appeared to be cracking, more super glue there has him in top shape. I have learned that I should use a spray on polyurethane to seal in his coloring if I am to leave him outdoors for the majority of the year. 

Pros: He's a great size for optimal viewing in a garden setting. Lantern really offers a good amount of light automatically at dusk. His feet are substancially weighted and balanced, I'm confident he won't topple over.
