Tools and Hardware Reviews of U.S. Nylon US Flag 3X5 ft - American Made - Embroidered Stars
Customer Review: Not a $38.50 flag for $8.50. More like an $8.50 flag for $8.50
Summary: 2 Stars
In this case the old saying is true, you get what you pay for. The flag is probably worth the $8.50 that you pay for it and not much more. The grommets are very cheap thin metal and larger than normal. Not what you usually find on a good quality flag made in the USA. It is stitched and does have embroidered stars as advertised but the embroidery is very shallow (single layer of thread) and the stitching is light weight and probably won't hold up for long. It should last through the July 4th holiday though. At $8.50 it's probably an average to good deal. As for being made in the USA, I don't know. The country of the manufacturer is not on the packaging. I give it two stars because it is not close to the quality I would expect of a $38.50 flag. If you're looking for a cheap flag that you put out on rare occasions and that is observed from a distance then this is an OK deal. At least its not a printed flag. The company that sold it did ship it very quickly which is a plus.Customer Review: Great merchant, great product
Summary: 5 Stars
The bottom line is that this is a great product from a reliable merchant. I recently retired from the U.S. Army here in North Carolina. Living in the country, we get a variety of weather, here. Over the past seven years, I've probably purchased about four flags (for both my front porch and rear deck) from different merchants. Sadly, most of the flags that I bought were overpriced...and most, if not all, were made in China. I found this particular merchant on an Amazon search when the time came to again replace one of my flags. The wind and weather really takes a toll on inferior products, here. I was surprised at the price offered by this merchant, so I took a chance and bought two flags. Boy, do I feel stupid for paying double for those cheap China flags, now. The product from this merchant is very sturdy - and the price is really a bargain. The fact that these flags are American made really is a bonus. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!Customer Review: Did not receive genuine Annin flag!
Summary: 2 Stars
I see I am not the only one who is receiving US flags that are similar to Annin Nyl-Glo flags, but are not. They are cheaper, the grommets don't hold up, there is no Annin or Nyl-Glo logo anywhere, and to add to the disgrace, my flag actually came with permanent marker or ink or a black stain on one of the white stripes.
I have kept this flag indoors in my office and will be wary of buying from here again. I bought it from BC novelties and this wasn't the only defaced flag they sent. So others should be wary when ordering this flag or from this company. You may not get a new or even an Annin Nyl-Glo flag.
I'm just disappointed, no stores near me seem to have any good US flag for sale and more and more, online sellers are sending cheap made in China flags of which there is no bigger disgrace to buy a US flag made in China.
Customer Review: Very disappointed in workamship
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed with the workmanship and quality of this flag. It does have sewn stripes but none of the stitching is straight at all, it can literally vary up/down an inch on a single strip. Also, none of the stripes are the same width. The stripe on the bottom in about 1 inch wide while some of the strips are more like 3 inches, and the stripe just below the stars is just a little over an inch as well. The variation is very noticeable. Where the stripes wrap around on the outer edge of the flag they don't even lay back on top of themselves, they overlap on the adjacent stripes, which is very noticeable since it's fairly transparent. Seriously bad work, someone is being rushed somewhere to pump out more flags per hour. An 8 year old could sew straighter than this. At least printed flags are rectangular and uniform throughout.Customer Review: Quality, quality, quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought four of these flags because I have one in the front and rear of my home. The size is nice because you can see them from the street and they make an awesome appearance. I don't have a place where I can put a light on them so when I saw they we Nyl-Glo I immediately gave it a try. It doesn't look like they have a light on them but it does give a glo/sheen that I really like. I go through two flags a year so I will be back to look for more down the road. They also are a huge 3 x 5 size so you can't miss it. I was amazed how good the quality was and the small amount of time it took for me to get them. I put one up the day I got them and so far it hasn't faded... at all.
