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.

Looks great but Flimsy and won't hold up in wind

Thought this would be a great addition to my law decorations. Opened it and the ball on top of poll was broken. I glued it and made it work. The wind just destroyed this. It is held down by 3 small screws and it is very top heavy. It has broken all the screws and broke the ball off in the wind. It is ruined.

Awesome sign but no durability

I loved this sign, but it lasted less than a week before light wind broke the pole and humidity caused moisture to get inside of the countdown area. In no way do I see this lasting for anyone outside. I really hope they do a re-design to make this more durable, because it really was cool.

Beautiful Decor

I love it I made a New Years sign to place over the Santa letters to start the countdown again. Unfortunately a huge wind came and bent the pole back and broke the metal tab with screw off. I was so disappointed. Good news the inside wiring was so long didn't damage the lighting. As for the cheap pot metal tab I thru it out and used zip ties and strong metal Ls (2) to reinforce it and repainted them red. I have to say it's a Beautiful Sign and was made good except for the tabs. Yes I would buy it again!!😀

Cool idea but crappy quality

At first this was a very cool idea. The sign is colorful, festive and the lights are bright. I thought this would be fun to have in the neighborhood to alert those driving by how many days until Santa comes. However the metal that this is made out of is probably the cheapest stuff in the world. Construction quality is poor and the sign acts like a sail and on windy days this was blowing all over the place. some of the welds broke and the sign started leaning and looked crooked when viewed from the street. The damage got progressively worse as time went on as more welds would break and the sign became more flimsy and floppy. The sign has been out only for about a month and I'm hoping it will make it until Christmas. After that I will have to try and fabricate something to stiffen the support pole and repair all of the broken welds. Currently the sign is being held together by zip ties and a bungee cord.

Cute, but NOT durable

Poorly made product. Our Member's Mark 5' (it's actually shorter that advertised) LED countdown sign is a huge letdown. The sign wasn't even out for a full week when the post collapsed under its own weight and fell over. The globe busted and the sign is irreparably damaged. We even tried to take preventative measures and added zip ties as reinforcements. The sign was great for a day, but the quality did not match the amount spent on the sign. Extremely disappointed in the product.

Not built well

I wanted to love this so much but I am severely disappointed. The glitter mess was something I wasn't a fan on but tolerated. I had this up and ready to go outside in mid November. I've had issues with the countdown being wrong but no big deal just grabbed the remote and fixed it but still- annoying. Then one day I went outside to find it topped over not because it came out of the ground but because all of the metal that's holding it together broke off. It's just poorly secured. The post needs something stronger than 3 little pieces holding it on and then it's secured to this base that's not really made well either. It should be a more secured metal piece to hold the post down with thick metal pieces and then cover that with the pretty glitter fabric. Mine is broken, ripped and unfixable and I'm crushed. Not even one season and this thing is a piece of trash in pieces on my floor.

Looked beautiful until the wind busted it!

I LOVED this sign while it lasted. It did last the beginning of November Ohio weather but could not fight against the winter wind and snow. The bottom wire bolts broke in the wind/snow/cold weather, causing the sign to collapse. I don't see how I can fix it. An expensive, pretty light display that no longer works. 😭

Nice but not worth it

It looks great but the days don't count down to zero. You have to manually adjust it every day.
