I bought the small green ones. I loved my original back from the 60s I broke the one my mom made - went to House sale (lady was 97) so I'm sure someone made it as it has the light bulb base (2 pieces) and plug in style.
I display it every year one my entry way table - looking forward to adding the small trees.
I know posters are saying they are made in China (what isn't!) but ceramic stores & classes are no longer around to my knowledge or I'd make them. This was a "nostalgic" purchase🎄
PS: my bulbs are removable & I ordered extras on Amazon last year (multi). I don't know with the TSV but if the bulbs are removable you could replace the multi with clear bulbs. They were reasonably priced on Amazon.
@homedecor1 Thanks for the information. Someone posted that they heard Leslie say the bulbs will come out.

I bought 2 sets of the green & 2 sets of the white, my staff gifts this year. Last year it was those beautiful white Kringle bells that were fantastic!

@BornToShop You're a good boss with great taste. I'm sure your staff appreciates your gifts, I know I would.

She was on with David and they were talking about how if it arrives and some of the bulbs have popped off, not to worry because you could just pop them back on. So I really do hope this will work out for you. I don't want to steer anybody wrong but that is what I heard them say on the very first presentation.
@Qgirl26. I'm sure you're right as the originals could be exchanged. I appreciate you mentioning it. No problem, I'll use it anyway.
@Qgirl26 During that presentation at midnight, did they demonstrate the bulbs could easily be removed and put back on?
@lucymo and anyone else...
The Mr Christmas ceramic tree I got in 2014 which I sent back due to poor lighting. I had considered removing the bulbs that were too saturated in color (blue, green and red) with lighter colored bulbs I was considering buying on EBay.
There were 2 problems with that idea...
1st, the bulbs on the Mr Christmas tree were glued in so well that I would have destroyed the tree trying to remove/replace them.
2nd, there are several sized bulbs available...so then there is the issue of which ones to buy to replace any on the tree...even if this year's version the bulbs are removable.
Although it's great to be able to put the trees anywhere since there is no cord, I have so many other options to put decor in those places...like the center of a table, coffee table, bookcase, etc.
It does look like the Mr Christmas trees this year have better bulbs, but the lighting on the green trees don't look like they have improved much. The large white one I was considering for awhile, however, in all the presentations, I have yet to hear just once the number of hours the tree will be lit before batteries need to be changed.
VPH will at least give estimates with her decor...so does Home Reflections and Luminara...
So with all that said, I pass on this TSV.

During a presentation this morning, Leslie, said the bulbs on the tree were glued on. I think she mentioned if for some reason they were to fall out you could pop them back in but would have to glue them.
I believe she also mentioned that the batteries if put in at Thanksgiving would last through Christmas.

In the questions and answer section on the product page QVC Rep said batteries on timer will last from Thanksgiving and Christmas. There's no way of knowing how long before they dim though. I have a lot of b/o pieces that will still light but grows dim awhile before they quit. If I don't cancel I will keep mine out and test batteries as long as I can within the 30 days to return. Thanks, SL.

@JerseyShoreLover That info will help a lot of folks who were considering removing and replacing bulbs on their own! I know that when they are glued in...they are REALLY glued in...LOL

@lucymo Thanks for letting me know. I think overall though, I feel there are more negatives with this TSV than positives, so I'm still going to pass. Testing the batteries and posting the results will help everyone though. Don't forget, you have until January 31st...not just 30 days

@Susan Louise, they did not demonstrate that as far as I could tell. I was listening as I was working on things around the house (I am a night owl so up at midnight every night usually doing something) so wasn't giving the tv my complete attention. I do remember David Venable saying you could glue them back on but I don't remember them saying they were already glued on. They talked as if it might be common for them to fall off because they were mentioning how you should not worry if this happens. I'm sorry I can't help more. I was hoping that demonstration would be the one on video but they had updated it.

@Qgirl26 After you and I posted about this...just an update. Anpother poster mentioned that the bulbs are glued in, but if any do fall out/off, you can pop them back in/reglue them
