I was a little hesitant at first because of the price but once I received the item, I felt that it was worth it. Being heavy is one thing, but this puma sculpture is beyond just welding car parts together. Care was done to insure that all joints were smooth and fitted perfectly My friends are amazed at the quality. It is a true piece of art and for those who may be sitting on the fence like I was, just go for it, you will be glad that you did.
