This snow globe seems fairly well made.  I’m giving it 4 stars simply because of the painting details. The snowman and the red cardinal could be more carefully detailed.  And the silver bottom scratches easily.  But truly, that is splitting hairs and being critical.  This globe is a fun addition to your holiday decor and will look great on any table or mantle.  I love how the snow blows every other minute and then calms down.  It is a very cute snow globe for the money.
