Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
Love how they look on my windows. The bow is a little cheesy close up but from the street it looks good. When (and if) they ever need to be replaced I'll put a better quality bow. Love that they have a candle!

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
This item needs some decorative input from the user since the ribbon is separate and the swag needs to be opened up. It installs easily and is very attractive. The only con might be battery life and replacing the bulb when it eventually quits.

Will look awesome in two new areas of my home.
Can't wait for Christmas to come around so I
can set it up!

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
I purchased this item with the intent to use it for next Christmas. It appears to be very sturdy & durable in all kinds of weather. I like the fact that the candle has a built in sensor & will automatically light itself when it gets dark. It also reminds one of colonial decor (displaying wreaths on the outside of the window). I was lucky to get it on sale.

Posted at the first window my guests see and the "light left on" just for them. Timer is great!

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
The brackets didn't fit my windows. I did some quick modifications with the vise and used clear duct tape to attach to the sill. My house sits back from the road so the blue light wasn't really noticable. New alkaline or fully charged lithium batteries last forever (over a month so far). The automatic on-off light sensor is a handy feature. Durable for more than 1 year use[$] is a little pricey but I bought them closer to the holidays on sale and were well worth it as I will be using them again next year. [...]

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
I purchased 13 window shags for every window. Some were a bit of a challenge to fit, but a little bending of the holder, and they worked fine. The bow is definitely not weather resistant and only attaches to one of the branches with a garbage tie on the back. Despite that, they do look beautiful during the day, the greenery is full and the red bows look festive. But at night when the bulbs go on, they are an ugly, florescent white with a tint of blue, not as pictured at all. I agree with a previous review, that they do look like cheap little flashlights glowing. They just have not come up with a soft white color LED bulb yet. If they did, I would recommend this item.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
Product was as described (we purchased a dozen of them). It has a white candle, with an LED light (blue white). Packaging, set-up and installation are easy. They've been installed for three weeks now, and I've yet to change the batteries. They automatically go on and off with a light sensor. The only negative is the red bow, which is cheap. We're planning to replace them with quality bows next year.
I would recommend this product.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
This swag is every bit as easy to set up as it claimed, but of the two I bought, one of the candles already doesn't work. If it were made a little better, it would be perfect.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
Purposed to use on living room windows,thought it would be a snap.
It does look nice.
candle holder was not able to be secured by window.
I was told by customer service(12-12-2009)that only works on double hung windows:did not mention this in description when I ordered.Probably would have not if known.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
Easy to set up and looks nice in the daytime - but then the sun goes down and this horrible blue light starts coming out of the 'candle'. Looks like the glow from inexpensive flashlights. I am returning it...embarrassing to have in the front of the house!

from Coatesville, Pa on 12/1/2009
Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
The windows in our house have a lip on the outside and inside so when installed the windows do not close tight and we could not use as they should. Luckily, my husband is very handy and he installed them on the railing of our porch by drilling holes and screwing them on. Very disappointed since the easy installation was what sold us on the product.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
Like everything about it but the color of the light the candle gives off. you would expect more of a yellowish/orangish light would be a better color than the bluish/white that is has.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
This product was just what I have been looking for to decorate our window sills so ordered 2 to see if I would like to order enough for entire home. Liked everything about product until bulb color ended up being blue instead of white, so I did not order more and did not use on our home.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
Fits my window box perfect...I wanted the real one, but it was sold out, lucky for me, this is just as nice, and I can use it again next year.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
I purchased two. They were full and look nice day or night. The LED lights are brighter than I expected and have performed flawlessly for 3 weeks without a battery change.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
Easy to set up once I figured out (I'm a little slow) how to assemble and set up in my windows. The candle holders were black in the catalog picture, but they are green. The lights have a blue cast, but it's not a big deal.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
I was looking for an earth-friendly swag that I could reuse. In the catalog, this product looked like it would be nice, but I was disappointed when it arrived. The candle holder wasn't able to lie across my windowsill with the window down and locked because my sill has a 1/2 inch ridge. But I was able to use the swags and bows, which look very nice outside my home. I would have liked the option of buying just the swags minus the outdoor candles.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
I decorated outside my kitchen window facing a porch. Sturdy and hooks under the window easily.
I wish the flame light on this was a yellow color instead of the vivid white LED light. Would look more soft and friendly.

Comments about Faux Balsam Window Swag:
I was very disappointed as the candle light is a tacky light blue not yellow as the catalog suggests. I ordered 11 of these and was very excited to decorate my Williamsburg Colonial with them for Christmas, but I would never use that color light. The shipping was fast and I hope the return goes well, if not I will write a review.
