Not what I expected

jamessl Oct 30, 2009

I have to admit that I was disappointed when I got these in the mail and they were flat on one side. Overall they were not what I expected.

Pretty

smc477 from New Jersey, Sep 21, 2009

I originally saw these a year ago and couldn't decide if they were worth the price, so when I saw the great reviews I decided to give them a shot. I bought fours sets: 2 for myself and 2 for gifts. I have to say that I am a little (but not enough to return them) dissapointed in them. When you see them in the box they don't look all that nice and it is really difficult getting them out of the plastic holder that they are in. But they did have a nice sparkle when held up to the light, so I think that with Christmas lights behind them they will look great. I do like that they come in all different sizes, but I won't be able to use all of them on the Christmas tree as a few are too big and others are too small. But they will look very pretty hanging on a garland draped on the mantel. I wasn't too thrilled with the packaging: the box smells really musty and it leaves a gritty oily feel on your hands and the ornaments. I think that before I give them as gifts I'm going to clean them with glass cleaner and find different packaging. I have never had a problem with shipping from overstock and not one icicle was broken.

Gorgeous!!!!

nisapizza from Cary, NC, Sep 14, 2009

I found these here at Overstock.com right after last Christmas and was kicking myself because I didn't look at this website before the holidays. I'd checked month after month praying that they would still be available in the fall. About late summer I'd forgotten to keep looking when it hit me that I hadn't checked in for a couple of months.Lo and behold when I looked 1 week ago they were still there at an even lower price than before. Next I was hoping that they were as beautiful as pictured and most importantly, that they got to me in one piece.So when they finally got here, boy was I happy. They were EVERYTHING that they we described and more.The artistry is wonderful and they will go perfectly with by holiday decorating scheme which is mostly clear glass ornament to reflect the lights on the tree. They look so realistic and I can barely wait for the holidays. I wasn't disappointed with this purchase and you won't be either.

So realistic

dgdh from central Texas, Jul 23, 2009

These icicles look amazing, just like the real thing. Very delicate and unique. I don't like the copper wire but I suppose I'll use hooks or fishing line to hang them. I ordered two boxes and did not have any broken ones. All arrived safe and sound. If well taken care of I can see these on my tree for years to come and passed down to the next generations.
