I live in Florida, in a beach community, so this guy fits right in. i like unusual items and this caught my eye. Can't comment on the durrability yet since I just got him. Put him on a raised flower bed next to my door. He's fun to look at. No one else has one like it so the questions are "Where did you get that"..I will be buying more items in the future from this company.Fun,fun piece...Worth the money..
