We have several Design Toscano pieces around our house but our Angel of Patience is my favorite piece. We put her on one of the Classical Fluted Plinth that we also purchased here and she sits on the far side of my swimming pool. I added a solar spot light in a pot of flowers in front of her so at night she breaks up the darkness and also gives us a beautiful reflection in the water. We were concerned how she would do in Texas heat but she did just fine through the hottest summer on record last year. She is made very well. I gorilla glued her to the plinth and also gorilla glued (I like gorilla glue) some flat metal bars to the bottom of the plinth so the wind doesn't knock her over. This was money well spent.
