Cheap piece of junk. Broken out of the box and since we purchased in Sept, no return or exchange. Made of what feels like clothes hanger wire, cloth and glitter. Definitely NOT worth over $100!! $30 maybe. Wish I had read reviews instead of impulse purchase.

Not appropriate for outdoor decoration and winter

I was put on a waiting list last year for this countdown calendar and I was disappointed that I could not get one. Regardless, I bought it this year when I found it in the store. It was up for six days and we had some wind, basically a winter day. The wind broke the post out of the base. This product is not suitable for outdoors. I am not happy with the product and how it is supposed to hold together.

Great Decoration

This is a great Christmas decoration! It was very easy to assemble. We love that it goes up at 60 as we like to decorate early! We also love that it comes with a remote control to easily change the numbers and turn on/off.

Santa's on his way in so many days!

I love this sign in my front yard. Now everyone can see how many days there are until Santa arrives. It fits in with my Santa, Santa's sleigh, Reindeer and Snowmen.

Loved the idea but not happy with the product

Loved the idea of the Santa Countdown but the quality of the product is very poorly designed. Very flimsy. Which it would stay on better and stronger. Felt like the product could have been better designed.

Beware of What you are Getting

Please know what you are getting with this sign. It looks nice but the functionality of it is poor. If you want a countdown clock that actually counts down by itself you may not want this. This is designed to be on at all times or turned on and off with the remote in order for the countdown clock to work. This is the only way for the clock to countdown correctly. Also know that the time you set the auto function to work is the time it will change from one day to the next. For example, if you set the auto function at 11 am then at 11 am the next day the clock will change the number of days. If power is interrupted or you have this thing on a timer to turn on and off the countdown clock this thing will not work as it should, you will have to manually set the days using the remote. So if you are okay using the remote to turn it on and off this will work for you or if you leave it on permanently then it will work for you. Otherwise you will have to change the number of days manually using the remote. All that was needed to make this a really cool thing is to add some battery capabilities so the time/number of days could be remembered when used with a timer.

The Santa countdown sign was designed to be an interactive display so that the whole family can enjoy updating the countdown each day together in the joy of the holiday season. As an added feature, we included an automatic count down mode for those that wanted it to count down automatically. This design does require a continuous power connection for auto countdown mode to work independently. If you are connecting the sign to a separate on/off timer, each time the timer interrupts the power to the sign the sign will turn off and when power is restored the sign will revert to manual mode and display the last day when power was turned off. Please know this sign also comes with the Member's Mark Satisfaction Guarantee.

Return to sender

This is absolute garbage. I'm a DIYer with everything from plumbing to electricity to cars and everything .mechanical. A blind man made this. Nothing lines up as it should. The horizontal support can't be mounted correctly so it just hangs by the wing nut with an oversized hole. The pole mounts to the base, off by 45 degrees. The pole leans. The hardware is cheap. After getting some semblance of this thing built, it was clear it needed to go back. I could have just saved the countdown part and cannibalized the rest but for a Benjamin, nope, it's going back.

Don't waste your money.

Bought this for my daughter as a gift. Like other reviews quality is dirt cheap. The product doesn't want to line up correctly when putting it together. Half of the lights don't work. Contacted Sam's Club for help. Bring it back for a refund. I DONT WANT A REFUND I WANT THE PRODUCT TO WORK! I'd expect more from Sam's Club. Now the thing is out of stock across the country, and I can't find one anywhere. Disappointed is an understatement!
