Know before you buy
Yes, the statue is cast in durable designer resin and designed for outdoor use. However, to maintain the cream stone finish and prevent potential wear, we recommend bringing it indoors or covering it during harsh winter conditions.
The flower bowl is decorative and does not feature drainage holes. It is best used for holding small faux floral arrangements, birdseed, or decorative stones rather than live soil-based plants.
At 7 lbs and nearly 40 inches tall, the gnome has a relatively narrow footprint. While it is stable on flat surfaces, we recommend placing it in a sheltered area or near a hedge to protect it from strong winds.
You can clean the resin surface by gently wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the cream stone finish.
The finish is a specialized coating applied over the designer resin to achieve the authentic stone look. It is designed to withstand outdoor elements, though it may develop a natural patina over many years of exposure.
