What customers say
Customers consistently praise the striking design and imposing presence of these sentry statues. They adore the intricate detail and the way the lions instantly elevate any entrance or garden space, making a powerful statement.

The overall consensus is that the aesthetic impact and impressive scale offer exceptional value, easily outweighing any concerns about the material not being heavy stone.
Know before you buy
While these statues are crafted from durable designer resin, they are relatively lightweight compared to solid stone. If you live in an area with high winds, we recommend placing them on a level surface or using a small amount of adhesive or a hidden anchor to ensure they remain stable.
Yes, the designer resin is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. However, to preserve the faux antique stone finish over many years, we suggest bringing them indoors or covering them during harsh winter conditions or extreme weather.
The set includes two statues designed to mirror each other, making them perfect for flanking an entryway or garden gate. They are sculpted to face outward, providing a balanced and symmetrical look.
You can clean the statues by gently wiping them down with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the faux antique stone finish.
No assembly is required. The statues arrive ready to be placed directly on your porch, patio, or garden path.
