Do these look tacky when not in use, but still on display? Is the "wax" part so fake looking that it must be hidden by other decoration?

No, I don't think so - not at all. They look very much like real candles, and I leave them out in open view just as I would a regular candle.

Well, mine are in lanturns on my deck. Anyone that looks at them close will know they are not real. But anyone that takes the time to do that is way to picky. I like this kind cause they did not melt in the hot weather outside. I don't think they look tacky at all. Because they aren't waxy they keep nice and white all the time. I'm very happy with mine.

They don't look fake. The only piece that is different than "real" candles is a wick, either new or blackened. If you wanted to make them look just like real candles, you could add a short piece of string as a wick. When they're "lighted," they look very similar to real candles.

No tacky at all. I did add ribbons and stickers for the holidays, but they look nice sans decorations. I also love the remote function so I was able to light without lifting the candles.

Some do come of the stand to play with and other are not. I used them for my son Birthday cake as decorations. He loved them!!

Been using it for a couple of months and just noticed it. I think it is just decorative - no real use as far as I can see. Hope this helped. Have a wonderful day. Sharon

yes they are for show, sure you could swing them around a little but nothing to real. They are a hard metal but could dent easily but they are very cool to own for the price

It must have been something other than normal use. I have two of them. I have used them for several months. They still look just as new as if they had just arrived. I am not being paid to say this and I wouldn't lie if I was.

I wouldn't reccomend it, however I suppose you could paint it. In my opinion it would look tacky if you decided to do so but not hideous.

Its just some putty, tiny piece, and.i used some kind of wax you would use to stand a candle up, when i ran out to stick them, it wont harm paint.

Nope. They are really beautifully hand painted/glazed. Have mind about 1 1/2 years now, and never had any problems.

You are very right. These definitely would not look good with those bulbs. Even if you had ones that were really short and didn't stick out, the effect would be clunky. I have clear amber candle bulbs and it's a pretty glow.

Looks real to me, but I could be wrong. Whatever it is, it's definitely not cheap looking. It really is a classy looking round end table with three nice size storage draws. Try going on the Coaster website or give their customer service a call. They'll be able to tell you for sure.

There is a product by 3m that is tacky on both sides. Maybe this will help you? I know it's very pretty up and looks very real just like brick.

Honestly, they look pretty cheap. They aren't foggy necessarily, however they don't look anywhere near what a real jewel might look like. Good for arts and crafts though!

Hi Amanda! Sorry if this answer came too late. I think you will not be happy with these stickers for the reason they are looking very fake and cheap, they are printed on paper and will not work with the shower tile and all that water.They are not stylish at all. Looks like some kind of drawing not anything like on website. I didn't put mine up, instead i bought some real star fish and hot waxed them on the tiles and on the walls that i painted in lavender color. All that gave my bathroom some mediteranien touch. Looks amazing and tolerate water. Good luck !

Mine came without decals and use alkaline batteries which are inexpensive at Costco. They do look real enough that most people wouldn't challenge them.

Oh! On the side!! Those are purely decorative! I owned this, and it's kind of cheaply made. The top hinges eventually gave out (after about 8 months of use), because they're plastic. :)

On my speakers, it's a black background with metallic lettering. The writing on the actual speaker is also gray, not white. I thought they were going to look funny too (I received my speakers the first week of January), and contemplated even buying them. I'm glad I did though. I saved a little money, and so far have a solid product. You can remove them, yes. However, the speaker grate is indented for the logo, so it could make them look even worse. Not to mention you may leave glue residue behind. I'd say pick up the speakers if that is holding you back, they look a lot better then this picture shows.
