    The Story Behind the Product

    Nana was born to a family of 9 children in the town of Kumasi in Ghana, West Africa. His parents divorced when he was only 8 years old and Nana became so rebellious that his mother sent him to live with his father in Tamale (in the Northern region of Ghana) when Nana was 12 years old. It was there that he developed an interest in art. He dropped out of school when he was 14 and started training with a master carver in Tamale. In 2000 Nana began selling his products through Worldstock. Nana is now married with 3 children and lives in Accra, Ghana. He is now a master carver with his own shop and 10 employees. Nana?s life has been so improved since he began working with Worldstock that he named his son after his contact at Overtsock.com.

      This atrocity is ugly to the extreme and nothing like the picture. I expected some variation from the reviews, but this piece of dreck is horrible. There are no curves in the statue - it is very square and flat. There are many chips and scratches. The arm is cracked and reattached. Overall, a very misleading picture. It will either be returned or thrown into the fireplace in effigy to protect others.

    • The Thinker

      I am not sure how the ratings show that everyone is a satisfied customer because I have read many reviews about this piece to the contrary. I ordered "The Thinker" hoping to be one of the lucky ones to get a good one, but I didn't. The figure looks nothing like the picture and it definitely has a different wood base

    • I must have received the piece that was unfinished. Half of the piece is not stained and what is stained is not very dark and of poor quality. Very disappointed...and as this is one of my first real experiences shopping here I am annoyed that I now am out so much money(shipping and fees) and with nothing to show for it. Hmmm, been an online shopper for a very long time, but I guess I will stay with merchants I know and whose quality I can trust.

    • Nice gift

      I bought this as a gift and like it, even though it doesn't look anything like the picture. In the picture, it is depicted as rather narrow, but it is quite wide. The long "arm" is a completely different color (perhaps type) of wood. It looks like a big rectangle. But, I think the person I gave it to likes it.

      Overall I'm pretty happy with this purchase, though it may be a bit overpriced. I bought it for a bookshelf in my living room & it really is eye-catching. There's a section on the foot that wasn't buffed, which looks odd, but I guess can be considered part of its hand-made charm. The base isn't flat, so the statute wobbles slightly.

    • This is an awesome piece!

      I got this piece for my fiance who just took his first leadership position. It's presence is very strong. I love the natural appeal that this has. The stain is imperfect so it looks very unique. I want to buy one for my home now too!

    • Think of it!

      I am enamored with my statue. It varies in shape from the one in the photo, which was an initial disappointment. However, it still delivers the message. The unique piece is interesting and inspiring.

    • Nice piece

      Very nice piece of wood sculpture. It's a tad bit smaller than I expected, but still large enough to noticeably display. Very pleased with product.
