This fourteen-piece Nativity Scene caught our eyes with its rustic simplicity. The figures are carved from sustainably grown Paulownia wood, traditionally used in Asia for fine furniture and musical instruments. All twelve figures and the removable magnetic star can be stored right inside the stable.

Comments about Nativity Scene:
Very lovely nativity that has the added bonus of storage for all of the pieces within the stable.
Comments about Nativity Scene:
I purchased two sets to give to two grand daughters who have small children. It is a wonderful teaching tool for toddlers -- unbreakable and easy for little ones to handle. What better way to introduce babies to the Story of Christmas? A nice touch is the hinged gate. However, the sets came with different pieces missing. For example, in one set there was no Star -- a very important part of the story. Also, the animals were different. One had a camel; no camel in the other set. And so on-- I hope the mothers will be able to fill in the missing necessary pieces (especially the Star) and will use them often, especially during the holidays.

I collect nativities and had seen this one in an earlier catalog and loved it. Happened to see it on sale after Christmas and purchased. It is beautifully made and unique for my collection.
Comments about Nativity Scene:

Comments about Nativity Scene:
My mom thought that this was the most beautiful Nativity scene! It has no faces and is very plain, and she plans on keeping it up in her reading room throughout the year. She collects Nativity scenes and is proud to own this one.
Comments about Nativity Scene:
I was surprised at the detail of this unusual set my father had planted one of these trees many years ago and I had no idea that the wood had such a use.
Comments about Nativity Scene:
Unique design, Good addition to an existing creche collection. Would have preferred unfinished rather than the rather yellow stain. Overall, pleased.
Comments about Nativity Scene:
The color of the pieces is warmer in person than in the pictures. We love it!
Comments about Nativity Scene:
might benefit to have pine or berry decoration
Comments about Nativity Scene:
I read the reviews so thought I would give it to my engaged son and his fiancee to start a Christmas tradition-I was very disappointed when I received it-looks like it would cost about $5.00
Comments about Nativity Scene:
This little nativity set is so unique and simple, I just love it. The only thing that was wrong with it when I got it was one of the sheep's ears broke off during shipping. I just stuck it back on with some gorilla glue and you can't even tell. Besides that, everything was just perfect. The whole set was affordable and is just super cute!
Comments about Nativity Scene:
I ordered this nativity set after Christmas so look forward to setting it up next year for display. I opened it to take a look and when I was replacing the pieces inside the manger for storage one of the pieces of wood on the hinged door came unglued. However, the set is quite unique and would look very nice with hay placed beneath it as it has a rustic look. I have several nativity displays and this one is different.
Comments about Nativity Scene:
It's exactly what I wanted (almost) . . . simple, rustic, light wood. Perfect for kids to play with and still looks beautiful on display. I've gotten a lot of compliments since it's not the typical nativity set.
However, I got 2 Angels and 2 Wisemen with the initial set. No problem. I called to get the missing "kneeling wiseman" sent to me, but was sent a second kneeling shepherd instead. I called a second time and explained that I was still missing a wiseman. I just opened the box they sent me and discovered a second kneeling Mary. I laughed! I'm calling and hoping the third time is the charm. The customer service people have been fantastic, but whoever is packing seems to not know the difference between the figures. (It wouldn't be right though to get frustrated over a nativity set, right? Ruins the whole point of the peace, joy and goodwill!)

Comments about Nativity Scene:
My daughter wanted a simple nativity set and liked a very expensive "name" set (one piece cost more than this whole set). This set is so compact, self-stores and is not bright and gaudy. It can be used many places and be in good taste. I may buy one for myself.

None of my 25+ yrs old children had a complete nativity set. They all loved it. One of the best gifts

I purchased this for my grandchildren to feel free to play with the set. They all love it and have spent much time already enjoying rearranging all the pieces.

Comments about Nativity Scene:
I bought this nativity after shopping around for a long time. I had a large porcelain set that was just to big and bulky. I wanted something not breakable and not large. I've priced wooden carved nativities, some cost several hundred dollars. This fit my price range, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I have a rustic house and it fits perfectly.
Comments about Nativity Scene:
This was a gift and my friend was so please she is ordering for gifts also
Comments about Nativity Scene:
I bought this for myself for Christmas. I had a porcelain set and it was just too big and bulky. I wanted something that wasn't going to break. It's very easy to set up, light weight, and its carved out of wood. I've checked out other nativities that are carved wood and they are several hundred dollars. For me, this set is perfect and it won't take up alot of room storing it either. Yes, it is made from light weight wood, but if you are looking for just a nice nativity that isn't going to set you back alot of money then you should consider this set. I love mine and I've been looking for a long time for just the right nativity. My house is rustic and it fits in perfectly.

Comments about Nativity Scene:
Asia = Made in China/poor quality
Not really as described - rustic should NOT mean poor quality

I bought this for my daughter-in-law for Christmas as she collects nativities. I liked it because it was unique - unlike any that she already has in her collection.
