Review on Burgundy Flameless Flickering Candles - Set of 9, Battery Operated LED Candles with Timer, Smooth Wax Exterior and 10-Key Remote by Mariealphonse Seattle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall lovely burgundy candles

I purchased these burgundy candles in a pack of 9 from Revain's warehouse. The color is really deep, rich, bordeaux, not a bright Christmas red. "Wicks" move well too. You are really very beautiful. I was very pleasantly surprised that they look so beautiful. I started putting brand new, fresh batteries in each candle and turning on each candle. I got to the last candle and it didn't work. :( What a pity?! The 8 worked but the 9th sucked. Tried a few more batteries in this 9th candle but it just wouldn't light up. Unfortunately these candles are sold out and never restocked. I hate it sending them back because one of the 9 doesn't work especially when I can't get a replacement set I've messaged the seller to see if they can help I'm worried they won't get these back in stock what which is a shame because I would buy another set or two. I really like them. The only other issue was that the styrofoam packaging literally fell apart and was unsuitable for storage until Christmas (I bought it for Christmas decorations) .The box was a bit crumpled and I have a feeling this set has been in Revain's warehouse for a very, very long time hence the deterioration of the styrofoam.I give the hey NO fault for this. Decomposed styrofoam is most likely the result of storage in a hot, crowded room. Raven camp. These candles were returned by another buyer. They were probably sent back because one of them didn't work. I'm so disappointed that one in nine doesn't work and the packaging isn't good for storage for most of the year. If only I could find a replacement for the one that doesn't work! Its height is just over 5.5 inches so I'm not sure if it should be 5 or 6 inches. It should probably have been 6 inches. I would appreciate a replacement though and hope they stock them again. I would buy another set or two for myself and one or two as gifts. From across the room these candles look real. You can tell they aren't real from 6 to 8 feet away in good light, but they look real in a dark or less bright room a few feet away. I absolutely LOVE this color! The color is exactly what I wanted. If you're looking for a burgundy color rather than fire engine Christmas red, I think you're going to love this color a lot. I wonder how long they will work. These flameless candles are new to me so not sure what to expect but hope to have confidence in them working for the next few Christmases. If they continue to work for a few more years, I will be very satisfied. In general, I recommend candles. Keep in mind that they really are burgundy and one or more of the sets may not work. If you're ready for those shortcomings and the candles are back on sale, I think you'll be happy.
