Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

After looking at them for a year, I purchased the kids as a gift for my parents. I was unsure if they were 2 boys and 3 girls or vis-versa. Since one way it was their children and the other their grandchildren it was perfect. It was the best gift at Christmas and they now occupy an honored position in the front garden.

Dissappointed in quality

By JD

from New Jersey on 4/21/2008

Pros:

Attractive Design, Easy Set-up, Weather Resistant

Best Uses:

Back Yard, Decoration, Front Yard, Garden

Describe Yourself:

Bargain Hunter, High-End Shopper, Practical, Stylish

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought these as a housewarming gift for my parents to represent the grandchildren. For the price I thought they were amazing. I couldnt believe how huge they were.
Then, I went to vist my parents and two were broken. They told me that one windy night the wind blew them down and broke.
I was very dissapointed that from just tipping over they would break so easily.
But what can you do??? Otherwise, they were nice, except for that.

I have moved into a new home so for my yard and patio I have been looking for an addition that would be unique. This exceeded my expectations. They are timeless---the children could be from 60 years ago or yesterday. Every time I go outside, they still continue to surprise me. You can also mix them up all over the yard. I am so pleased. Do not hesitate to purchase.

Smiles and Compliments Galore!

By Ron the Quiet One

from Cliffside Park, NJ on 7/28/2007

Pros:

Attractive Design, Gets plenty of Smiles, Placed near front walk, Reconfigurable, Visitors' Positive Remark, Weather Resistant

Best Uses:

Garden, Near walkways, Not Obvious Locations

Describe Yourself:

Love the unusual

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Since the figurines were placed in a small garden area near the front entrance of my house, I have had people stop and peer up the walkway to see my "family". They are discreetly placed and not completely visible to the street. If you stop and look past some bushes and flowers you discover them coming out of a flower bed and rounding a small tree. Yup, compliments galore and BIG smiles.

My pool enclosure is professionally landscaped and quite beautiful, if you ask me! But it was not fully complete until I added the Follow the Leader statues. They are the highlight of the garden. I have received so many compliments. They are like nothing else I have been able to find! I highly recommend to all!

[...]Put them in between the rocks by our koi pond and it looks like little kids on the rocks. The two that look down were placed on the sides of the pond so they ARE looking into the pond. My husband even liked them and usually he says "we don't need it"...this time he thought they were cute also. Can't wait for my grandchildren to see them - just know they're going to love them too. I'll probably have to order a set for their playhouse!!!

Memorial garden

By Blessed mom from Denver, CO on 6/24/2007

Pros:

Attractive Design, Easy to Secure, Stands up to strong winds, Visible at a Distance, Weather Resistant

Best Uses:

Back Yard, Garden, Memorial garden, Porch

Describe Yourself:

Looking for the unique

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I purchased my first set 5-6 years ago and am going to purchase a new set. I placed the 3 smaller kids in my memorial garden to represent the two sons I lost and for my daughter. I also placed in each of their hands a star solar light stake, fits perfectly between the fingers. They bring me a sense of serenity to look at them. They have weathered very nicely but I suggest bringing them in or covering them if your winters are cold. I gave the two larger children to a friend for his siblings who have passed.

Neighbors are so envious-these statues look like they were passed down from a Grandma or relative. No one is allowed to touch them-so they do not know they arent antique. Wonderful item, and fast shipment. Love you [...]!

Bottom Line:

I originally bought a set for my yard. Based on the price my expectations were not all that high. I was more than pleasantly surprised. They are all they promised they would be and more. All my friends love my "kids". Each one has its own personality and whether they're peeking out of the ferns, discovering a newly blossomed flower or playing follow the leader through the yard they are engaging. The second set? My Mom received in time for Mothers Day. How perfect a gift: easy maintenance kids.

LOVE THEM!

As parents of 5 kids, my favorite past time was to watch the kids enjoy time outside in the yard. Now through our window, I can "watch" them frolic in our garden every day of the year, even though they are all grown up!
