Looks great, but not at all sturdy!

I love the looks and the lights are bright, but the sign is poorly built. The stem "cane" of the sign is only supported by small "L-shaped pieces of metal that aren't strong enough to hold up the sign. The entire sign leans to the right and if you're in a windy area (as I am) the wind pulls the sign forward. It would be perfect if it had a stronger support system!

Junk out of the box

Members Mark is junk. Have the time I have bought things like this they don't work out of the box. I don't have time to keep taking back for a replacement to have it not work either. Happened with Halloween and now Christmas. Steer clear of their junk.

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.

Can someone please post pics of instruction sheets

We love this sign. It's on our covered porch, so I cannot comment on how it holds up to weather/elements. But it's beautiful. 1. The countdown is only on one side. 2. If u lose the remote, you cannot operate it. On the cover of the instruction booklet, there's contact info for spare/replacement parts though. They'll like send another. 3. Yes, glitter gets everywhere. I immediately added a fresh coat of spray glue on the glittery parts upon assembling. That helped. 4. I cannot find my instruction sheet to see how to set the auto countdown w/ the remote. I looked everywhere online. Apparently, there are a couple of versions of this (some from different retailers). My remote only has a Manual button, but the info I found online has an Auto button. I'm sure I have to press or hold the Manual button a certain amount of times for it to switch to Auto, but can't remember. Need the instructions! I also need the contact info for replacement parts from the insturction booklet. Please help by posting that if possible! Happy holidays! :)

We appreciate your feedback, Patrice. When you plug in the sign it starts to automatically countdown the days. If you don't want the sign to automatically countdown, then you push the Manual button. Contact Member Support at (888) 301-0332 and they can connect you with the manufacturer for further assistance.

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!!😀

Remote dead after 1 season

Bought in 2024 and it was great - just tried to set it up for 2025 and the remote will not work. Remote was kept in the house all year, so it was climate controlled, etc, batteries were replaced and everything. Sign powers on but without the remote working we cant change the numbers. Its a lot of money to only be able to use 1 season!!

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.

CHEAPLY MADE SANTA SIGN

Dont waste your money. This thing is so cheaply made. The base holes barely lined up to each other and the bottom hole of the actual sign is nowhere near the other hole for the screw to go in. The pole is crooked because of this and nothing we try will get it to stay straight-zip ties, smaller ties, shoving cardboard pieces between the pole pieces-NOTHING! Not sure if this was previously used and returned or if this is just how this brand of stuff is made but when you spend time trying to put these together for crap quality, its not worth it. This is second holiday piece we have bought this year from Members Mark and had terrible issues with the other one as well. I will be reading reviews and rethinking buying this brand.

BIG and Bright

bought this late 24'. it's bigger then imagined. and the lights are too bright. (jmo) and too much glitter!! brought it up to use now and it won't even turn on! new batteries in remote. all connections are good. So that was an almost $200 down the drain fast.

Cheaply Made

This looked so cute online. I got it at my local Sam's Club curbside. When we took it out of the box, there were several holes in the base and we couldn't get the screws to match up to the holes, no matter what we did. The idea is great, but it's cheaply made and not worth the cost. I'm returning it. I'd pass on this one.
