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.

Terrible process to a simple item

Would Not Recommend

The instructions seem simple enough, drill holes, fill holes with a little caulk and then stick anchors on the back of the numbers and into the holes. Simple right? I thought so until you attempt to get them flush with the mounting surface and them the metal anchors that are screwed into the back of the numbers just breaks off and not just breaks off but is now also stuck in the pre-drilled and caulked holes. No easy way to get those out. Come on, can you just make the numbers a solid piece with...

Great!

Would Recommend

These look great on a mailbox as floating numbers. Sleek and modern looking. 1 start knocked off just because installation was not as simple as directions detailed but they are still up and sturdy with use of silicone caulk. We drilled smaller holes to ensure that they didn’t fall out

Awesome

Would Recommend

Looks beautiful and easy to install. The only suggestion I have is to use 13/64 drill bit instead of the 1/4 for the floating option. 1/4 is just too big. It seems they also started using metal post instead of plastic that others reviewers comment on breaking.

Pretty mad

Would Not Recommend

When making the numbers together. The 5 was not centered on the printed template provided so the 5 was crooked on sign. Pretty mad cause my nice project went to crap after i was finished cause yall can’t position a 5 properly. Also the 1/4” drill hole is way too big but caught that before I drilled thank god.

5 Stars for this Stellar Numeral!

Would Recommend

I giving 5 stars for this stellar numeral because it looks so good and installed so easily! The directions for installation come with a template for mounting and stringing with other numbers to form your address. That was a great idea! The template allows you to tape the address in different mounting places and step back to determine if that's the ideal location. The satin nickel finish will look great for decades and should stand the test of time and weather. I highly recommend this product if ...

Great look for freshly painted house

Would Recommend

We decided to update our house numbers after we painted the house and found these great quality numbers at our local Lowe's. They come with a template for easy install and can be mounted flat to the house or raised slightly, as we chose do do in this photo.

Beautiful Product - Horrible Hardware

Would Not Recommend

We purchased two numbers for our house and only two of the screws (mounting hardware) remain intact. The rest have broken. Since I cannot find replacement screws anywhere, I'll have to purchase another number only for the screws. Poor, poor quality.

Read reviews before installing

Would Recommend

I read a lot of reviews on these number before purchasing. I had good luck with mine but the reviews are correct. The spacers screw into the numbers and then you just drill holes for the pegs to glue into. The numbers seem the be of good quality. However the spacers are of low quality. Not plastic but not metal. Not sure what they are made from. If you are gentle they will work. I gently screwed in the spacers to the numbers and then laid them on the board I was using. I traced the pegs so I kne...
