Saw these very early this morning, and the reviews aren't so great.

Lots of coming apart, loose stems, glue over runs etc. Any one have these? Are they better than they look on TV?

I've seen ones at Hobby Lobby over the years that look better in my opinion.

I've had these for several years and love mine. I reglued a few stems(have three sets) and they have held up well. IMO just as good or better than HL and the price is sure a lot better. They all come from China and you will need to clean off a few rice hulls in the folds but no big deal to me. Half off S&H if you buy two. I ordered a set of the three large and a set of the minis for my daughter since she likes mine. I do have the multi colored sets too but no longer available.

The reviews aren't very good. So, even at 1/2 price, they may not be a bargain. And, as they're "imported," I'd wonder about the stuffing.

Thanks for posting this! I recently ordered one set of each after they went on clearance, so I just called to get a $16.50 credit.

I was very leery ordering these based on the reviews. I was expecting a mess. I opened them up and was very surprised. No mess at all! No other issues like I read about it some of the reviews. I only wish I had been able to get the multi-colored ones too.

@Mominohio

Be aware that the small ones are tiny, but cute and will be good for tucking into different places. The large ones are nice and seem well made, especially for the price. I think in another thread I had commented how I googled "velvet pumpkins" and came across a site that had gorgeous ones, but they were considerably more expensive. I hate to steer anyone wrong, but for the price, they are worth a shot, imo.

I was just thinking that I might have have just been lucky when I got my velvet pumpkins because mine were and are really nice. Glad yours are nice too. I got mine when they first came out, have three sets of the large and two sets of the minis. I did reglue a few stems but other than that they are great.

I'm not trying to steer anyone on anything either, just posted the sale. What others like I may not or other way around. I see LTS at eleven at night so maybe someone wants to check them out.

@lucymo
I guess we lucked out on our pumpkins. I wish Valerie would bring them back in more colors. So true that what we may like others may not and vice versa. It still helps to get opinions though.

You see LTS at 11? Good to know. I have a few things on my wish list that I keep hoping will be a LTS so I'll have to take a look before I go to bed.

@crazycockermom. I have never checked my phone, might work on that too. Hope you find it. You can check QCuts on FB early too. A lady post it on there too.

@BornToShop Great display! I always miss out on the LS as I would have to get up very early to check them out, and I prefer sleep, I lose enough of it anyway.

@BornToShop I love that display, really shows a lot of imagination and talent. I also love the velvet pumpkins and they really work well here. b Thanks for sharing the pictures.

@mousiegirl They were available until 3:00pm my time so 1:00 pm your time, I guess. I was shocked to get half off the s&h on the 2nd item. I got a set of each for DD and hope they come as nice as the three sets I got when they came out.

I saw these this morning and considered them, but the s&h got me. I seem to not be able to do it when the item is low. LOL. I don't need them, so it worked out. I've been looking at them since they came out. The small ones were recently on zulily. Can't remember the price though.

@GCR18 I was shocked to get half off s&h on the 2nd item. Been awhile since we have seen that on decor items. I have had these since they first came out and I'm still using them every season. Hopefully, I'll get good ones this time too, for my DD.

@lucymo Thank you, I will try to remember. I thought it was over at 8:30 my time, but every time I check, the item is sold out in the morning. I bought the small at zulily, and that's all I need now. Zulily just offered the three larger in different colors, I passed, but was tempted.

I saw the ones on Zulily too. I love the velvet ones, easy to stack together.
