Erzgebirge-Palace

Reviews:

All items are very beautiful and unique. They are very detailed showing that they are handmade. Wether it’s the candle arch, smoker or pyramid. Everything transforms the living room or area of display in a miniature winter Christmas wonderland that is mesmerizing to look at. There was only one article that I am a bit disappointed about. That is the self construct pyramid kit 006-PB-S2002. It was fun to build. It could have used glue that is less runny though. Glue tube also was not resealable. Some parts were a bit harder to push together. Overall it is s very nice pyramid that can then be decorated to anyone’s liking. HOWEVER! While it is a nice three tier pyramid to look at and display it sadly does not work well with tea lights or candles. Without any decorations on it it may just spin like you would expect. But once decorated it seems to become to heavy. No matter how blades are adjusted or what type of tea light or candle( to get flame/heat closer to the blades)is being used. It just does not turn. Even when given an initial push it will eventually stop turning. Maybe it’s the tip of the pin that sits on the glass bearing, maybe it’s the distance of the heat source to the blades. Idk. It is a nice display but sadly not a working pyramid.

I don’t order often, mostly because the delicate items sold need to be more carefully packed. I am not talking about packing for shipment, rather the items themselves in their original boxes. Wobble figures arrive with pieces broken from being tossed about or candle arches arrive with pieces broken off. The most recent order was shipped to a relative in Germany instead of the US, in an attempt to prevent breakage, but it still arrived needing repair. Yes, I have wood glue, and was able to repair on my own, but delicate items deserve better packing in their own boxes before that box is placed into a well packed shipping container. That, or the items are of a defective quality, which I highly doubt. Please pack items with extra protection in their original boxes prior to placing those boxes in the shipping box.
