Oriental Furniture 10" Sitting Hotei Happy Buddha Statue, Bronze

I purchased this for our little zen corner of our backyard and am very happy with it. It is pretty solid, lightweight and it looks nice. It looks wooden but it isn't... overall am very happy with my purchase.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality.The statue/figure comes boxed in a molded Styrofoam cube (inside a mailing box) so it's very secure. It's a bit darker than I had expected but it looks great, like it's carved from wood (it's resin). There is felt on the bottom to help prevent it from slipping off whatever surface you place it on.I'm terrible at judging size from measurements so, for those similarly impaired, I included a couple of photos with a standard 12oz. beverage can beside it for some size perspective.Highly recommended, great quality.Note:The little rug did NOT come with it, that was a different purchase.

He's a big boy... good color, almost could say it's wood... not sure, to be honest.

I was hesitant to purchase this statute because of the 1 negative review of this item, but then I thought "I can always return it".I got this big boy in perfect condition. No issues and it looked just like I expected it to. He's big, but the majority of him fit on my mantle. I'm guessing he would be right at home on the floor, in a corner of a room.He's lightweight and has a sticker on the bottom for traction.I'm happy with this purchase for the money. He looks cool and he's a good size.

He's Fabulous!

Bottom line up front: It's not bad looking, but the color is slightly different from the photo, it's very light weight, and nobody's going to be fooled into thinking it's real wood.First of all, although this representation is commonly referred to as the "laughing Buddha," it's actually not a representation of The Buddha. It's a depiction of Budai (Hotei in Japanese), a mythical Buddhist monk who appears as a representation of contentment. His name means "Cloth Sack," which comes from the bag he's conventionally depicted carrying (or in the case of this statue, sitting on).APPEARANCE: The photo coloration is somewhat inaccurate, in that the statue is more of a milk chocolate brown than the golden brown shown. The photo is otherwise accurate in terms of the faux "wood grain" pattern and gold painted highlights. It's not bad looking, but not as good as the photo. It probably would look best sitting on its own, because if anything with real wood is nearby, it's painfully obvious that this isn't made of real wood.MATERIALS: The statue is made of plastic/resin and is very light in weight. It's definitely for indoor-only display. The casting seems to be of decent quality (no seam lines), but isn't particularly impressive compared to the detail in some resin casts you can get.Overall, I thought it was decent enough when I bought it, but within 6 months I was looking for something a little higher quality.

Very nice statue which came very well protected and packaged. If you enjoy Asian-style whimsical art, you will like this piece. The happy face is so pleasant to look at every day.

First off, super fast shipping. Ordered on Tuesday, received on Thursday! Awesome!Seems bigger than the 5 inches, of course I haven't measured it. Absolutely adorable & makes you smile when you look at it. I got him in a prominent spot in my living room and I'm gonna rub his belly everyday! Great bronzy brown color...looks nice even in my more traditional home.

AWESOME GIFT

Belle statut, la grandeur était exact

I was hesitant in purchasing this because I thought it should be more of a gift for someone rather than yourself. I'm definitely glad I DID get it and he's perfect for my office. Exactly as described.

Exactly what I was looking for, the rite size

Perfect. Husband loved his birthday present.
