Based on the great reviews I have to say I was a little disappointed.  However, for the price I suppose it is to be expected.  The craftsmanship was pretty snotty, the places where the halves screw together look really rough and the little fillers for them didn't fit in all the holes and fell out.  The paint was questionable too.  We debated on sending it back but it is only meant to be decorative so for the price we kept it.  From a far you can't see the defects too much and once it is decorated hopefully even less noticeable.
