This is extremely big and beautiful. First impressions, quality work. Heavy porcelain, needs to be a big table for it to be a good centrepiece.Packed well in thermocol and delivered well by Amazon.The reindeer are positionable based on how you want them. The gold string is a bit short to go around them all and end in Santa's hands but I have threaded them by the medial (inner) notch on the reindeers' backs. You may be able to use the lateral (outer) notch on 2 the same side and the inner notches of the opposite 2 reindeer if you wish. The gold thread does not have end knots and looks like it may not last very long as may fray.Candles are well packaged and takes a few minutes to unpack. (Obviously they won't last long too)Santa sits in the sled and is seated on the music box which sounds beautiful. It lasts about a minute on a full turn.There is a spot in the centre of the posterior portion of the sled in which you can place a tea light safely..The versatility of arrangement, weight and cost (£99) make this a great item to buy on Amazon this year.As I bought this yesterday for £165.14 I am returning it and have bought it again for £99 as the Amazon customer service representative could not help me refunding the difference. On a computer in nearly 2020, that isn't great.
