What Customers Are Saying

The product has a modern, sleek design that many customers find appealing. However, the quality of the included mounting hardware is a major concern, as it is reported to be delicate and prone to breaking during installation. Some suggest using alternative mounting methods like silicone caulk or industrial glue to secure the numbers, as the provided hardware is unreliable. Despite the hardware issues, most customers are satisfied with the overall appearance of the numbers, especially when used with exterior lighting. Careful installation, such as using a smaller drill bit, is recommended to avoid the hardware breaking.

House Numbers

Would Recommend

Beautiful! Slim and elegant - very expensive looking. Clear enough to be seen from a distance and the shadows cast adds to visibility.

Numbers do not match template

Would Not Recommend

I did everything as instructed. After drilling large holes into the side of my house, I realized that the '2' did not fit into its holes. I placed the 2 on top of the template, and it was not even close to fitting inside of its own template. Now I have large holes in the side of my door trim, and no house numbers.

Looks nice but cheaply made

Would Not Recommend

The bends in the numbers are not consistant, i had to go through 4 different number 7's until I found one that was not abnormally tweaked or bent. And the supplied hardware is very very cheap, 2 screws snapped without even applying much if any torque.

Very nice looking!

Would Recommend

These look very clean on the sign we made for the house! My only thin is I wish the included screw/punch was optional and not required for mounting. I mounted this on a 3/4" piece of cedar so the punch came out the back a bit.

Nice Design

Would Recommend

I liked the style of these. I used the pegs, drilled holes in the 1x4 that I had stained and attached the numbers with caulking. I did notice even with the guides it was difficult to get the number and pegs to align exactly perfectly. Plus if you tweak them too much the pegs will break. I think the next time I put these up I will use a different color stain because from a distance the numbers blend in a little bit too much in the daytime and aren't really readable without a light in the evenin...

Beautiful and stylish - but breaks too easily

Would Not Recommend

Followed the instructions to the letter - used the templates, correct size drill bits, etc. - was able to get two of the three letters mounted. As I was mounting the 3rd, one of the pins was either incorrectly 'welded' or was bent - and it snapped off. The three remaining pins lined up perfectly and so it's currently holding in place. But at some point, I will need to replace the 8. I did not put any undue pressure on it - it's just cheap, thin metal and I suspect there was a bad weld as this...

Nice house numbers

Would Recommend

I purchased these numbers for a house number plaque I was installing on our house. These numbers are very nice in that they stand out to make the a 3D view, and they stand out against the plaque background. Very easy to install with included screws. I also installed a solar-powered floodlight, which presents an easily read house number at night.

Horrible product

Would Not Recommend

The screws that were included to mount this number cracked in half before we could even mount them!! As we screwed them into the number, they broke off! Returned them.

Hi and thank you for your recent feedback. We apologize that this item did not perform as expect.

Delicate process but look great

Would Not Recommend

The pegs on the back of the numbers are for lack of a better word - delicate. Even if you are patient and move slowly, they can break off while screwing into the back of the number. I would have a paid a little more for a more quality product but it appears none are to be found. If you are mounting flush, I would recommend using heavy duty 3M tape instead of drilling holes in your house. If you choose the floating mount, just be careful and drill the holes slightly smaller than the instructi...

Perfect...love the updated look to front of building. Someone else loved them so much they stole them - I have re-ordered to replace them. Now that I had seen them mounted on our wall, I can't image any other. Gives classy look.

Ok quality, but look poor

Would Not Recommend

The quality is certainly questionable although none of them broke on me, make sure to make the holes big enough. Issue is you really can’t see them. Even with a light on them, they really aren’t visible so I’m pretty upset. They don’t look as good as I hoped.
