We had gone through 4 of them and 3 were broken upon arrival. The packaging wasn't damaged which leads me to believe that they were broken upon packing.

The backdrop arrived broken. These pieces feel rough, and the paint is uneven. They are kind of cheap looking like others have said. They do not look nearly as nice as the picture. Too bad, I loved the idea of the wording on them. I am sending them back, and by the way, since it is damaged, sending it back is free.

The positive elements about the nativity are:
*The concept: The Holy words printed on the gowns of the characters give this nativity a unique appeal. This is in fact what attracted me to the nativity in the first place.
*The size: Each individual character is very substantial in size and weight. These could easily fill a large space on a shelf and not be prone to toppling. In terms of size, you definitely get your money's worth.
*The price. The 2008 After Christmas Clearance price was about 1/4th of the original price, making it hard to have many complaints.

However, the quality and workmanship of the actual pieces is very poor. Paint is either smeared, stained or run in many places. The attention to detail is shoddy. The backdrop is not much more than a hefty piece of cardboard with hinges, and is wrapped badly in cheap "gold" foil paper.

If you're looking for an affordable nativity, you can do a lot worse than this one. However, if you're looking for a nice piece of art to add to a nativity collection, this one isn't up to snuff.
