This little stand is cute as a button and I laugh every time I look at it.  I didn't realize it was going to be so little, but I must not have read the specs carefully. In the picture the eyes are open, mine the eyes are closed. Also in the picture there are two distinct colors, on mine the colors are blended together so the elephant is as dark as his burden.  I planned to use him by my entrance, but now that I see him I believe his size requires him to sit near my chair to hold my cup.
