I bought this piece for my son and daughter in law. Originally they wanted a Tree of Life menorah. As I was searching, I came across this menorah. I kept coming back to it, but it wasnt a Tree of Life so I forced myself to move on. I was having a hard time choosing which Tree of Life to get so I finally asked for my daughter in law's input. As we sat at the computer together she spotted the elephant menorah and fell in love. Funny how both were drawn to this menorah! It is completely irrational, but we both love it! I was so worried the delicate trunks might be broken in transport, but they were all intact. It has a tiny chip on the base, but you can hardly notice it. It was a perfect 1st night of Chanukah gift that they will treasure for many years to come!
