Pleased with item - disappointed in the Printing. The T was printed over a chip in the slate. Need item to be replaced. Just forwarded my situation to customer service. Thank You.

Wonderful first home gift! I ordered this plaque two days before my anniversary. My fiance and I just bought a house so it was a perfect addition to our new home. It came right on time and exceeded my expectations.
Would recommend for any personalized gifts!

Good Anniversary Gift We gave a slate plaque to friends for their 50th wedding anniversary - they were thrilled, it is such a 'useful' momento.
|
Not what I expected The chocolate brown seems to have somewhat of a greenish tent to it. Nit the chocolate brown I was expecting but the plaque is still great!
|
Very nice! The plaque is just as shown. Very nice! Purchased one as a gift for my brother & his wife for a housewarming gift - they loved it.
|
Nice plaque...shippers questionable. The plaque itself is really nice and looks great however a couple corners were chipped when I recieved it. The chipped off pieces were not in the package so I know it was chipped prior to being packaged for delivery which is pretty disappointing.
Overall though it looks really nice and makes a great wedding gift!
|
we liked it... Color was acurate, clarity of lettering was excellent, stone was excellent. Little disappointed by the spacing between our name & the established date
|
Nice Gift Pleased with this product for the price, although I would've been willing to pay a bit more to have the print perfectly straight. Also, I ordered black & think the color would be better described as charcoal.

Personalized Slate Plaque I ordered this slate in black. The gray pre-printed sections on the black slate (Welcome to the....) is not easy to read at a distance. There is not enough contrast with gray on black. The hand painted finish on the edges is not realistic in color, in my opinion. It does make for a great conversation piece.

Slate Plaque I ordered my Slate Plaque for a friend for Christmas. I do love it, I just wish that the wholes that hold the leather hanger was more in line. Cause when you hold it up to hang, it looks unlevel. I would order this again. I have ordered so much from this company and will continue too!
|
I agree with the other reviews... I recently changed my name and my new husband wanted to put our name on the mailbox and I didn't want anything cheesy. We were also looking into street number signs with our name on it, but know we aren't going to live here forever, this was perfect. I gave it to him as an anniversary gift, and he loved it. I chose the black slate, which looks great with our newly tiled slate porch. There appeared to be scratches a bit on the surface, but this is going to get a bit roughed up outside anyway, so I was ok with it. It is classy and understated and I am pleased with the quality.
|
Great Wedding Gift The quality is very nice. I needed a wedding gift for a couple I didn't know personally, but am very close friends with another family member. This fit the bill - good price for a personal and unique gift.
|
A nice addition The above plaque is very nice looking. I feel it is well worth the money and I look forward to putting it up outside as an item you would first see when coming to our door. It should serve as a good first impression.
|
Much smaller than expected The size of the slate was much smaller than it looked online. It's made very nice though, just wish it was a little larger to hang on the front of the house. I bought it for a house warming gift.
|
Nice plaque, faded fast We were so happy with our plaque initially. However, after hanging (not in direct sunlight, ever) outside for several months the color began to fade very badly. We are disappointed in the quality of this product.

Size By Shopper (lenoir, NC) - February 7, 2015 Wasn't as big as I thought it would be
|
Macdaid Better, but not perfect!!!
|
satisfied By Shopper (Raleigh, NC) - August 19, 2012 looks nice. different than i expected though. I thought that the edges would be more "rustic", not shiny. Printing quality looks great!
|
There should be a disclaimer It is nice, but it looks like it's chipped on one corner. I was told that, since it's slate, it will be imperfect. I understand that concept, but the photos are not indicating that at all and nothing is said about this possibility. It looks broken, not imperfect.
|
wedding gift Thought it would be bigger...it's OK for the price
|
Color Confusion The background color appears like more of a green than black as ordered, but that's always a possibility when ordering online. We do like the style & should still be able to find an appropriate spot for it.
|
Watch the first line I had a long last name and it let me continue to type but placed the extra letter on the last name on the second line.. not good!!!
|
Print is sideways I loved the idea of this product, so I ordered three. One for myself and two for relatives, but when they arrived in the mail I was a little disappointed to see that the print was not straight (like it had been sideways when the ink went on). Also, the holes at the top were not symmetrical either. I will still give them as presents, but will not be too excited about ordering more in the future
|
personalized slate plaque Was a little disappointed as it was smaller than I thought. Picture is deceiving as it appears to be much longer. Printing was good. and I have to keep it as it is monogramed.
|
Not satisfied By Shopper (Waterford, NY) - January 2, 2015 I ordered this plaque for a housewarming gift. Although I like this item, I am not keeping it. I ordered a black plaque. The text (white) is a different shade than the personalized text (also white). It just doesn't look good to me and I do not want to gift it.
|
Very Disappointed By Shopper (Geneva, FL) - May 2, 2014 I have purchased many of these plaques in the past and have always loved them until I received my recent order of 2 plaques. The quality has changed and the appearance of the plaques is much different than it used to be. They look very cheap now. I am so disappointed that I hesitate to give the plaques as gifts. Unfortunately, I will not be ordering these any more for wedding gifts.
|
Update to previous review reg chipped corners. In follow up to my previous review, PM contacted me to photograph my plaque so they could address my concerns. After review, PM felt the product was appropriate.
|
Not what I expected Although the quality of the material is good, I was disappointed with the overall look of my slate plaque. I had expected it to look aged, but the shiny varnish makes it look new and kind of tacky. Wouldn't order another.
|
Flawed item I was extremely disappointed to see a huge flaw in what could have been a very classy gift. The edge of the blue slate had a huge chip that measured 3/4 inch into the blue area. When you look at the piece your eye is drawn to this white area and not to the printing at all! It actually makes the wording appear crooked. This is such a silly quality control problem as this piece of slate should have never been used. Wish I could have you folks redo the item. I am very reluctant to give this as a gift now. So sad....
|
Not so good I would suggest against purchasing this product. Upon first receiving the item one corner was completely cut short and if hung on a flat surface looked so disproportionate. I immediately contacted customer service and after sending a picture they sent me another one right away- that part was great! Although the second one was much better it still just seemed a little off and to anyone who is a perfectionist in the least they would be frustrated with it. I would suggest looking for another product along the same lines.
