36 inch Immaculate Heart Of Mary - Outdoor Vinyl Statue, Granite Finish

Beautiful statue. Nice image and the finish is quite realistic. Can be used inside or outdoors. All that I had hoped for. Makes a lovely, reverent addition to my garden along the walkway. I was very pleased that a statue of this height was available at such a reasonable cost. It was easy to add the necessary weight to keep it strong against wind, and a big plus was that it was "MADE IN USA," which is absolutely very important to me since I avoid anything I can that is not made in the good 'ole USA! I particularly boycott all "made in China" goods since that means breakable, shoddy, junk, even at times toxic, that winds up clogging US landfills after quickly falling apart or not running, in addition to using unnecessary expensive, fuel to ship it into countries that should be making their own products. No wonder fuel is so expensive with all the transportation of things we used to make in this country! I will not knowingly contribute my hard-earned cash to Chinese exploitation and domestic unemployment if I can avoid it! Years ago, when things were imported, it could mean very high quality items, like the old fashioned Lego's, Mercedes-Benz cars, you name it. Some imported products today may be high quality and good buys, but now, for me, most imports, especially Chinese, are suspect and to be avoided at all cost! If this statue of the Immaculate Heart of Mary had been made in China, I would not have purchased it! I did not receive my statue exactly when I expected it, but that was because of the Sandy storm which delayed a lot of shipments, and the seller kept me informed about the delays, so that was another point of satisfaction for me. So, if you would like a beautiful, sturdy statue of the Blessed Mother, "Made in USA, " this is surely to be the one to buy!
