A review of

Set of 3 Graduated Candle Holder Pedestals by Valerie

These are really nice, good weight, and look like wood.

They are nice.  I have something similar in black from pier one.

I have these, and I love the concept, but in my opinion, they weren't worth the money.

They chip very easily, and my smallest one came with quite a few small chips in it. 

Since they are faux painted, a furniture touch up marker easily hid the damage, and since they are a little rustic looking, it isn't really noticeable. 

I love the style, the coloring and the heights, I just think they were overpriced for the quality.

@Mominohio  I didn't know about the chipping, so will take extra care.  I found the same with some of the Grandin Road tall, candlesticks they are called, but I use them for pillars., had to exchange one set due to chips.

Recently, I dropped a CI pinecone lit pillar, and it broke.  Yesterday, I dropped Valerie's gumdrop tree, twice, and it didn't even chip, and this is while I was trying to be careful, lol, but my hands aren't what theyused to be, sometimes.

@mousiegirl, LOL.  I dropped my gumdrop tree candle, too, last year, and it barely phased it.  There might be a small dent in one of the gumdrops. I'm sorry about your CI pinecone pillar candle. I think we both have that one and it's so nice. :-(

@SHOPR  Yes, I am crazy about the pinecone pillars, and it's a good thing that I bought a lot, one I gave as a gift, the others I am hogging for myself, lol.  The poinsettia pillars are still available at Amazon, or were, havn't checked lately, and I bought one as I needed one more.  They are less expensive than they were here.

@mousiegirl@SHOPR   I also have those Pinecone pillars and I use them every winter.  There are so many places that they will work all winter.  I always wanted to get the fruit ones but waited too long.

@lucymo  I don't recall fruit.  I decided this week that I am going to have a pinecone pillar in the bedroom next to the tv across from me so I can enjoy it all year long.  I usually only bring them out in the winter also, but I enjoy them so much, I am going to look for spots to have them out during the year.  When they are lit, they don't look seasonal, my pinecones drop all year long.

@mousiegirl  I am a pinecone junkie, collect them whenever, wherever I can find them.  I have plastic tubs of them, all sizes from the huge Sugar pines to small ones.  I make wreaths and use them in baskets, bowls wood boxes.  They are great  in old wooden boxes with micro lights  mixed in them. We don't have any trees on our property here but the park nearby does so I can pick them up there.  The fruit pillars had the 3D fruit in colors around them.  It was pretty but I waited too long to order.

@lucymo  Decades ago, before we moved here, we were on vacation and saw tons of huge pinecones on the road so stopped and collected as many as I could before DH yelled "that's enough!"  I keep some in a large basket on the hearth, others were used for DD's class in making bird food cones, and others are waiting for their final spot.  We had many pine trees when we moved here, but through the years, storms have taken them down, and one was growing into the roof gutter, so had it removed a few years ago, now only one remains.

I think I tuned in too late to see the fruit.
