Overall I am happy with this purchase. The gargoyle has nice detail and it appears as it does in the photo. However, it is much lighter than I expected, which makes it seem more delicate than I envisioned. This is surprising as I would imagine many would want to keep it outside. I haven't performed any maintenance on it yet and it is still new so I can't say how durable it will be outside for an extended period. It is recommended to take it indoors for extreme weather.
