This santa is not as I expected....it is made from pvc pipe and I put it together alone and it kept falling apart as I assembled it.....the directions were clear and once I got it to hold together the head was a bit of a challenge to get on so it would stay.....once together and sitting down, it also stands, it was kind of frumpy so I added pillows to fatten it up.....now it is beautiful along side the Christmas tree on the porch.....I would purchase it again, but would have help putting it together......
