The workmanship on the first giraffe I received was defective, as one of the giraffes was missing half its left ear. I returned the merchandise and received a second giraffe. It had all its ears; however, part of the foot was missing. Frustrated, I did not return this item because it is a beautiful and unusual piece of artwork.

A beautiful piece of craftmanship...I've never seen anything quite like it. If you like to collect African masks like we do, this will fit right in with the collection. I look at it, and still can't quite figure out how it was made from one piece of wood....amazing. A real conversation piece. My wife and I simply love it.
Nice workmanship however product arrived hugely chipped at the foot. Nicely and properly packaged with lots of insulation. Definately product was manhandled in US distribution where it chipped then they decided to ship it to me flawed anyway instead of finding a replacement that was intact.
Lovely and intricate work made by the Ghanaean artisans though!

this is a really interesting art piece more than a table. it's a little short to be a table so we are going to put it on the fireplace. it's made very well and is like nothing else i have ever seen. my husband loved it, as it was a christmas gift.

This was the hit of a birthday party I brought it to recently.
I had never had it out of the box and the birthday girl opened it and was simply delighted. The workmanship is beautiful, the design is genius and everyone there wanted one too! I am ordering another for myself!
It is a great gift for giraffe lovers!
