Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 Adorable!

I purchased the set as a Christmas present for my panda-loving wife and she thinks they are great. They are both such sweet likenesses of Xiao Qi Ji that I simply had to get the set. I couldn't choose one over the other. These were much bigger than I anticipated, but that's not a bad thing. Very substantial and well made. They look great on display. I highly recommend. A great gift for a panda fan.

Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 Love the carving, very heavy and will hold books up easily.

I love it but couldn't afford to buy the pair for a gift.
