Best Choice Products 3-Piece Lighted Christmas Deer Family Set Outdoor Yard Decoration with 360 LED Lights, Stakes, Zip Ties - Gold

Very Happy! So, after going through many reviews before purchasing, I was nervous about having a possible issue with troubles some posted about. Glad to post that ALL is well. Box Deer came in looked good. All 3 Deer were separately wrapped tight. Noting that some stated experiencing a "Glitter Bomb" while opening, I was Slow and methodical for entire unpacking and assembly. NO GLITTER BOMB! Yes, some Glitter fell about, yet not too bad. Layed a sheet down inside, no problem. The most involved part was getting each Deer Head out from body cavity where it was packed into. This was only way to ship and keep box size to a minimum. Had to be patient at this step as I didn't want to inflict damage, then have to return or fix. Once Neck/ Heads were extracted, rest of assembly was not too bad, (Except for actually installing Heads/ Neck). I needed my pliers in order to complete. (Complete install Took about 1hr). First thing I did,though,was to plug in a make sure all lighting worked. LED's are bright. Glad I bought the Gold vs. White as Gold looks great during daylight as well. Bow's tie on easily. Any previous reviews that state these are " flimsy", are NOT correct! These Deer are Strong & stiff & overall, well made! Buck stands almost 5 feet. I just installed today so we'll see if any issues after a Rainfall. If so, I'll update. I also purchased, separately, 6"-U-stakes so to hold Deer in case a strong wind happens. (Set comes with 6" -J- stakes). Also, in case you're wondering, the instructions that came with this clearly sate that these CAN be outdoors. Mnfctr recommends to NOT leave out for an Extended time. No mention at how long " Extended "pertains to. Deer feet-to ground contact was close to level. So once on lawn, no issues there. As Deer are, in my Pix's, all 3 power cords reached a common junction where they plug into extension cord. (no cords hanging through the air). As I'm writing this, it became VERY windy and gusts up to 40mph. Deer are holding steady now for 3hrs with no issues. When New Years is over, I'll store these, just as they are, and in a dry environment. MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!! UPDATE- 12/2/22 - Last week i Displayed Deer for this season. NO issues to report.

So pretty and easy to assemble. They may lose a little gold during assembly so plan accordingly like the instructions say! We LOVE them and neighbors do too! Highly recommend to light up your porch or yard this Christmas season!! Added a photo after easy assembly!

I have wanted the lighted reindeer for years. Finally ordered them early so I’d have them ready for Christmas this year. They are lovely.

This deer family is very stunning and adds a touch of elegance to my rose garden for the holidays. As others have noted, there is a lot of glitter. I put a large tarp down in the garage on which to assemble these and that worked well. I started with the doe so I could get the hang of putting these together. It took about 15 minutes per item. One issue I had was with getting a couple of the ears to go all the way in. I ended up having to scrape off the glue and glitter from the tip to get it to go all the way into the hole. But my main issue was with securing the deer using the included stakes, which took longer than it did to assemble all of them! The leg on the fawn that is lifted had a metal ring through which the stake could be placed. However, none of the other legs had this. As a result, I had to poke holes through the mesh at bottom of each leg, then catch the metal bar that runs up the leg. Too much! I recommend a small metal ring be placed at bottom of each leg to more easily secure in the ground with stakes. That said, I am very pleased with the finished look.

Make sure you open it outside. It clearly states it on the box to open outside because it is a glitter bomb when you open it. You do have to put it together and you will get glitter all over yourself. Not sure this will last outside in the rain. I think it’s better on a covered porch so be warned I’m sure it won’t last more than one season outside in the open
