 Oh what a gnome Mar 22, 2010
Even though this lawn gnome is labeled and most likely designed for outdoor use, I would not recommend it for that function. This is even more so if the end user lives in an area that has extreme weather, like harsh winters on very intense summers. The unit is made of Polyresin but does not contain enough density to truly be trusted outdoors. The only reason why I am spending so much effort highlighting this aspect is because of the detail features on the gnome. The face and the outfit are well painted and it seems like a waste to let the weather remove all that work. On top of that, with the lighter weight of the unit, a strong wind could knock it over and possibly scrapping the paint. If this unit is put outside it is recommend to keep it there during milder weather but to bring it indoors for the winter months; or, the summer for areas that get desert-like heat.
Personally, I think the unit works best as a conversation piece to be kept with other similar themed pieces; or, in any room to add a little bit of fandom. It makes a great gift for the sports fan that seems to have everything. The overall quality of the piece is high especially for the relatively low cost.

 Can't recommend to fellow longhorn Dec 26, 2009
There's not too much us Longhorns won't buy when it comes to swag, but this is smaller than expected. Even my wife, not a longhorn, was surprised at how small it is. Yes, I know there's no false or misleading advertising as it's duly noted that it's about a foot. In our case, street curb to gnome is about 35ft, and frankly, you can't see it.
The product itself is a ceramic based, and that comes into play when you're trying to secure it from potential thieves (12yo neighbor boy and his posse). I tried to put a eyelet screw in the gnome's heel which would then be tethered to a chain and stake in the ground. No luck. Gnome's now close to heelless now, as the screw cracked it. Instead, I took the chain and encircled his ankles. Still a deterrent, but less than ideal.
Otherwise, is it really burnt orange, not some orange that's close? Yes. Is the longhorn logo on the cap visible from more than 5-6ft away? Barely
Super Cute! Dec 16, 2009
Great product. Received product as exactly shown and received it promptly. Made a great gift.

The item received within 2 days and was delivered as advertised. It is a very cool conversation piece and not to large to set on a persons work desk!
