Bought these for Christmas as my partner and little boys loves anything to do with nutcrackers and this is no exception. I bought this to put up outside of the house and will be putting one each side of the main door, I opened the package and unravelled them and I must say they are really big which is good they are also printed in very sturdy material it was very easy to put them together you just stick the wooden rods in the too and bottom then they are good to hand up they will be a great addition to the Christmas decorations collection.
