Bought this for a gift originally, but when it arrived, then seeing it in person, I had to keep for myself! It’s very well made, not a light medal material, but a heavier grade, so it stands tall/straight & doesn't fall over. It’s bigger, in a good way then I imagined & way too cute! My husband even liked it! I just started adding corks to it, but during holidays, added a battery slim lighted candle w/some added straw & winter colors around it, which was absolutely beautiful w/an added special glow on the wall in shape of an owl. Got so many compliments asking where I bought it. Not leaving anyone out, by not having this adorable owl, I did order another & gave it to my niece as planned. She loved it & has it in her family room bar area & is now getting compliments herself! It’s a must have, especially if not for a fun conversation piece, that can be used in different ways, all year through.
