Handmade in Haiti by artists displaced by the earthquake from 100% recycled newspaper, cardboard and paper, this statement piece is a thing of wild beauty. Comes with a hole in the back for hanging from single nail. Due to the reclaimed nature of the materials each rhino will vary.

I like where it's going, just not so much the finished product.

Vote: Thumbs down!
the idea behind it seems cool, i could see a piece like that in a boys room, but the quality isnt there and the price is way to high for the quality of work

I appreciate the cause this is going towards, but what the heck? A rhino?
Mary
Vote: Thumbs down!
Ugly. Too expensive. It could only be used by someone with a unique decorating style. I see no purpose.

It's not even a native creature to Haiti. Not sure I get the connection and the price is way too high.
Andrea

Way to much for paper mache.

Totally silly, but I like it. Would I pay for it? That's another question altogether

love it for the quirky nature, but TOO much $$! Couldn't buy it because of that.

I'm all for nature-friendly products, but I cannot imagine anyone having this in their house after paying $110 for it. Perhaps if it were a kit instead, with a lower price?...

Megan

It would be cute in a kid's room, but I don't think I would pay $110 for it.
Kat
Vote: Thumbs up!
Cool looking piece. I understand it supports a workshop and that is a worthy cause - but I could not afford it at $110
Liz
Vote: Thumbs up!
neat idea and I love wht it supports, but I wouldn't buy because of the price

I appreciate the charitable aspect of this but once I opened the box I would throw it right into the trash. I'm sure you all could come up with a charitable option that looks good.

Great sentiment, but this honestly looks like a hunk of 1st grade papier mache gone bad
