I see that QVC is now offering Design Toscano line. Anyone buy any Design Toscano pieces recently ? I bought a lovely bronze outdoor statue yrs ago along with some smaller resin outdoor pieces and tapestries from their catalog. I was wondering how their quality is now ? Any opinions on this line ?

Looks kind of kitschy.

I bought a Halloween decoration made by them on Amazon ("The Zombie of Montclair Moors") which they still have online...

It is a HOOT, scary, and has held up REALLY well....I put it in the fall leaves near my porch and EVERYONE comments on it!!!

Once I had it on the floor drain in my garage when I knew I would be having company.

Right now, it's near the sump pump hole in my basement ( which I've never used, it's dry down there, but it fits perfectly like it's coming out of that hole...)

Check it out!

In answer to your question...held up well. Very well packaged.

I want to get the 26" sitting Buddha next. I like to burn incense and I think this would be very calming to look at in the garden.

I've long collected Egyptian and other interesting pieces but never from this brand until I saw an Anubis, Egyptian god of the dead that looks similar to my little dog with her oversized ears and it made me laugh, I had to have it. I have other pieces that are similar but not from this company such as a large sitting Buddha that has to share the room with Anubis and I have a large Easter Island statue out on the sun porch that watches out over the neighborhood. It cracks me up for the humor.

I don't know how this brand compares from years ago but it looks like you have to be careful as with any purchase --- that you love it, that it fits with the look you are going for, and you have no regrets after the fact.

Thanks for opinions. I was just going to buy a few of the small resin animal pieces so my grandson can place them in a couple of flower gardens . The large more costly items I bought yrs ago were museum replicas .

I like this deer, 23-1/2"L x 13"D x 37-1/2"H, but not much of anything else. First order sold out.

Why, yes. I bought this from QVC in 2018:

It truly is one of the nicest representations of St Francis that I have found. It has held up beautifully in the weather, in a 4-seaseon climate. @skatting44

Over the years I have bought several pieces from Toscano and been pleased with everything. So far the quality has been excellent.
