This was my first purchase from Simon Pearce. I ordered both a tree and this pumpkin, each as a second. The tree is lovely and the only imperfection I noticed was a tiny bubble, which just adds to its charm. The pumpkin has noticeable scratches across the surface. I understand that seconds can come with unique quirks, and while I was expecting some character, the scratches were a bit more than I anticipated. I wasn’t planning to leave a review, but since I was asked, I wanted to share my honest experience. Overall, I truly appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship, and I look forward to building a collection of Simon Pearce pieces in my home. It might be helpful if seconds were described in a little more detail so expectations align more closely with what arrives.
