Echo Valley 8105 10-Inch Glass Gazing Globe, Red

Beautiful.

Great product

Had this product delivered a month ago and immediately put it out in my garden. It was in a partially shaded area, surrounded by flowers, away from the sidewalk and road where any people or car flung debris could hit it. It's been sunny, with occasional, normal rain since putting it out, with temperatures in the 70s/80s. The other day while gardening I noticed a couple hairline cracks had started to form in the mirror glaze, but just assumed that was a minor defect. The next morning when I left for work I saw that it had literally exploded. There were glass shards in all directions. It wasn't under a tree or anywhere where something could have hit it, but I double check to be sure.Im assuming it got too hot, but there were no warnings about avoiding sun exposure or anything. Now I have the very fun adventure of finding shrapnel in my garden and a waste or money for a defective product.I reached out to the manufacturer and got no response.

It's lovely

So pretty, love the color, so sad wjen I found it broken on my grass because of the strong winds we have here. Breaks easy bc it's a thin mirror. I bought others that are metal when tjey fall they don't break. Very pretty color

The globe was very nice, aside from a scratch on the top that I noticed. That's why I couldn't give it five stars. I've decided to keep it and avoid the return hassle. When you pay full price for an item you shouldn't get something with a flaw. Before it is sent out, I suggest taking it out of the box and looking it over carefully and you'll have a more satisfied customer! I recently experienced this same lack of quality checking from a non Amazon mail-order retailer and experienced the same complaint. Is it worth hoping the customer will not notice? I don't think so, if they decide not to do business with them again. Please do a better job of inspecting the product for shipment before it is packaged.

This gazing ball was disappointing. I was looking forward to receiving this so much but when it arrived it was scratched and dimpled. It was also so much lighter than my other glass gazing balls.

This ball replaced an old ball I bought at year end sale at Homedepot. I suspect it is same manufacturer. The other ball lasted at least 4 years before being broken by a falling object. It kept it's gleem and was clear with a slight pattern. Could not find the same ball so chose this. It is a striking color, well made but suffers from the same defect as the prior ball...the rubber (stinking Chinese rubber) is tight when you get it and falls off in a week. This time I decided to electrical tape it on. It is a water seal so I hope it does ot build up pressure. In their defense these are hand made so each nipple is a different size so they must have problems fitting one seal. In my case it was stretched on well and still fell off the first day.You can not go wrong with this supplier and the quality for the price...ships well packaged!
