Even though I have 4 objects on the top of my Curlacue Chest, there is a distinct grouping of 3. I don't count the lamp because it sits alone.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Things grouped in odd numbers are more pleasing to the eye.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I tend to like bigger items and less of them.
