Nice Quality and Very Functional
Size: 11" x 7.5" x 0.7", Color: Marble Tray-viola Tablet Set
These look great and I love that they can be use for all sorts of things- catchall, tray, soap dish holder. They also have felt bottoms, so they protect whatever you set them. All around a nice product.

Nice little addition to you tabletop or bookshelf.
I liked the size and shape of the sculpture. It is small but makes a statement when stacked on top of a few books. I love it!

Nice Addition to My Bookshelf
After Christmas my bookshelves were looking a little blah. Wanted something a little different so I thought I would try a statue. This is very nice. Looks like the picture. It's small. 6 inches. Have it sitting on top of some books. Good value for the money.
