This statue is appealing; it matches its photo. The coloring adds depth to its beauty. The wings are removable and that was part of the initial attraction for me. However, the statue does not rest evenly on its base. I tried it first without the wings (my preference) because I like the musical element, being a musician. On the small pedestal I used, the "fairy" tipped over immediately. I put the wings in their slots, hoping this would improve the situation, but it was still tip-prone. Even a slight touch will topple it, potentially causing damage. You have to situate it "just so" in order to avoid it falling from its perch. If it will be on something permanent, it could easily be glued down or a hole drilled to screw it down. I like the statue, but this is an unfortunate aspect of it that needs to be dealt with, not ignored.
