Questions & Answers
This is only meant to be used as a decoration.
Yes, it can be used to crack real nuts; we used it to crack nuts until my son tried it on a hard nut with no crack in the shell, and he cranked really hard on it, breaking the wood off. So just be aware that it is not as strong as metal shells and that it can be used for most shells but not the most difficult.
It is packaged in a plain box rather than a gift box.
The product, in my opinion, is insufficiently strong. While I haven't tried it with nuts, it appears to be purely decorative.

Because we recently purchased a Christmas tree farm and he collects nutcrackers, I specifically sought out a nutcracker with a Christmas tree for my husband. This was supposed to be a Christmas present, but despite the fact that it claims to come with a picture of a Christmas tree, THIS IS NOT THE CASE. This is just a regular nutCracker, with no value to me now that the Christmas tree accent has been removed. Very let down.
Grandma let my son choose a new nutcracker, and this is the one he chose. We didn't pay attention to the description, because when it arrived, we discovered it was smaller than the others in our collection. It's a nice piece, and I like that there's a note in the package saying they'll stand behind it if there are any issues.
BUYING IS A MISTAKE. Make a financial plan. I bought it for my boyfriend's mother as a Christmas present. Other paint colors have dripped on its shoulder, face, and boots, indicating that it was thrown together quickly. Normally, I'd be fine with it, but it also arrived in HORRIBLE condition. Almost every part of its body (hat, nose, cheek, sword hand, shins, and base) was chipped, cracked, or scuffed with paint. The wood on the base and shoulder is also cracked and dented. I noticed sequins were already falling off as soon as I took it out of the box. I paid $43 for a nutcracker that was of poor quality and had been damaged. I'm so disappointed because my boyfriend's mother would have loved it if it had arrived in AT LEAST decent condition.
DO NOT ORDER! I received a filthy bear up product. The quality is poor. It came with a lot of dirt on it that isn't going away. There are a lot of dings and cracks. Because the box arrived in perfect condition, it was shipped in this manner. I'm disappointed that they sent me a clearly damaged product, but I don't have time to return it or even ship a replacement before I need it, so I'm stuck with it.
It was still in the box when I took it out. It appeals to me. On my mantel, it looks fantastic! It isn't flawless, but then again, nothing is.
It's a nice shelf ornament, but the only nuts that fit in his mouth are the ones that aren't roasted. peanuts in shells or chocolate M M's (but only if the nuts are small). My wife insists on keeping him, but THIS IS NOT A NUTCRACKER FOR ACTUALLY CRACKING THE SHELLS OF ANY NUTS, as the opening is WAY TOO SMALL.
I'm glad I ordered them because they're adorable. Both of the frames were strewn about. However, I always have Gorilla glue on hand, so taking the frames off made it easier to insert the photos of choice; I'm still giving them 5 stars because of the quality for the price. I'm looking forward to seeing how the recipients react when they open their gifts!.
I've gotten her a collection of old great nieces and nephews to add to her collection. She adores all of my nutcrackers, and I have a feeling she will adore this one as well. I, too, assumed it came with a tree, but I replaced it with a photo of her holding her baby brother, as other reviews have stated. The quality is excellent, and the price is very reasonable.
