Really nice and sturdy. Not made with some cheap material. Will use again for sureIt worked out nicely for my daughter's fairy themed bday cake. The striped straws are paper so we were afraid they wouldn't be sturdy, but they went into the cake just fine.The cake topper it's beautiful and I love the gold texture look so it doesn't get lost in the background on top of the cake. However, the packaging is not so great! It came in a large envelope and of course the mailman folded it and put it in the mailbox so it is broken. Do not bend or fragile should have been on the package and that could have helped to prevent this from happening.Both of the straws came bent and there was nothing to affix the pieces together, but I made it work. Not terrible for what it was. Cake turned out well and birthday girl was happy!This is very flimsy. I had to reinforce it just to put it on my daughter's cake for all of 5 minutes. It looks nice, just not worth the money spent.You need to assemble it yourself and it doesn’t come with instructions. I ended up just using tape and putting it in the cake. It was basically pink fairy trashThe picture that showcases the cake topper is way smaller in person. Very deceiving. I can't do anything with that with a 9in cake, it's too small. Very disappointed considering I received it on a Friday and needed to use it to top the cake for Sunday.
