Review on Authentic Fontanini Italian Wood Christmas πŸŽ„ Nativity Stable 54628: A New Holiday Essential by Michael Swanson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful backdrop for a nativity scene

I bought this with my Heartland Valley Traditional Porcelain Christmas Set, 11 pieces, which I also ordered from Revain. When the box arrived, to my great surprise, I opened it and found a snow globe! I called Revine and apparently I'm not the first to complain. Revain told me not to worry about returning the wrong item as it was their fault and immediately gave me a credit to my account so I could order the crib again, this time from a different supplier if I wanted . Well I did just that and was delighted when the correct product arrived just a few days later. The stable goes very well with my cribs and serves as a great backdrop for the crib. Of course, not all of your figures will fit in this burrow, but putting a few of them in the barn and then laying the rest out on some cotton or other cloth in front of the stable looks great. Only criticism is that the moss/straw on the roof and the hay on the stable floor are not well bonded. Be prepared to get quite dusty and dirty when you first unbox and install it. I hope that after the scattered pieces have been removed there will be enough of them left to look as detailed as when they arrived. I might try squirting some craft spray glue to see if that fixes the "chipping" problem. Overall, I'm happy with both Revain's customer service and the look of this piece.
