Good quality & fast delivery! Very pleased :)

Love

Bought them as a gift they were well received. Super high quality, sturdy and well made. Will probably buy more from the company in the future.
The only thing that would have improved my experience is a filter for height so it is easier to get similar size products.

Beautiful garden ornaments

These are so well made and look delightful in the garden. In Summer they give the plants something to climb, and in Winter are visually stunning in their own right, I am very happy with my purchase
