Although this is whimsical and you won't see it everywhere there are many reasons WHY.  We purchased this to go in our private courtyard by a pool so no one would steal it.  Although it is "cute" you could buy something better at a drugstore that would be more durable.  This is cheap, flimsy and doesn't have a lot of lights.  It would take a lot of "adjustments" to be happy with it.  I don't know that it would even last 1 season which is why we returned it.  The directions also specifically state not to put it by a pool.
