Buyer Beware

I bought this and got it all set up and it didn't work. The sign wouldn't turn on and only half the lights work. Went to exchange it and Sams Club was out of stock.

NO REMOTE

Where is the remote?. Bought this in November and opened it today and what a let down. Love the sign but without a remote it is worthless! Called Sams Club to see how to get the remote and they hung up on me. Done with Sams Club!

Not quality material and cheaply made

We thought this was cute so we purchased it. It is not the best quality. The material is so flimsy. The material on the base had a hole in it. We put a piece of duct tape from the bottom. It's not perfect but it will do. The 2 sections of the upright pole don't line up correctly. We managed to get them lined up enough to get the screw in and had to wire tie them to make it tighter and less wobbly. When we hung the sign on the horizontal bar, the top of the upright pole started leaning due to the weight of the sign. And the horizontal bar is no longer level. One end is slightly lower than the other. If we hadn't put so much effort into it, we would return it. On a positive note - it is cute.

Not as nice as I thought it would be.

Beware just know if you buy this it must stay on 24/7 without turning off or you have to manually reset the calendar every time you shut it off . So if you use a timer for your lights you must use the remote to reset the calendar every day . If you are good with that it's not bad. The fit and finish still sucks, though holes barely lineup and glitter gets everywhere.

The sign comes with a built-in timer in the remote, Richard. There are two options: You can have the sign on for 6 hours and off 18 hours; or have it on for 16 hours and off for 8 hours. As noted in the instructions, you are correct, the use of an external timer will disrupt power, causing the item to stop automatically counting down the days.

it's a great idea, but the thing is poorly built. the way it attaches to the base, the welds are poorly done and it doesn't take much wind to make them break and it's essentially impossible to repair. It also sags after being out together adding on to it breaking easier. Had to put toilet levels in the gaps to try to fix the sag, but it still sags some. The sign part itself is good but if the remote goes out, there is no way to manually control it.

Bright, colorful, and well constructed

I was pleasantly surprised when the package arrived. I knew the description said it is 5 feet tall and 20 lbs. But I understand estimated this. It was pretty easy to put together by myself. There was one step where it would have been easier for another set of hands, but still managed it. The directions were easy to follow, and everything lined up accordingly. I only have 2 complaints. The globe at the top came with a few scratches, and I wish it fastened in tighter. It moves some but still sits in there fine, hopefully wind doesn't effect it. Second, like others spoke of the glitter was out of control. It gets all over the floor, your hands, and anything else around. Someone suggested they were gonna spray it to put a coating over it to prevent the glitter from getting all over. May need to look into it. I do wish it had a battery backup so it would retain the day info once turned off. Not a big enough problem to sway my love for this. Overall extremely pleased with it from size, weight, appearance, and how bright the lights are. Love the chasing lights around the sign.

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!!

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!

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.
