Product description

You submitted photographs and a detailed description of an assortment of two styles of an article identified as item number 11033460, LED Table Décor. Both styles are battery powered, illuminated, tabletop décor made predominantly of plastic, measuring approximately 4.7” in diameter and 7.6” in height. The first style depicts a jolly Santa figure, dressed in his traditional red and white suit holding a lantern in one hand and a candy cane in the other hand. The second style depicts a snowman figure dressed in Santa’s traditional red and white coat, a scarf, mittens, and a hat. When activated by the on/off switch at the bottom, the items are illuminated with a warm glow and at the same time holiday and seasonal images are projected up onto the ceiling from a projector within the figure’s heads. With or without activation of the illumination feature, both styles would still perform their primary role as attractive table décor.
