I posted recently with some pictures of some of the sconces with the palm tree designs, on which I had displayed my dollar tikis.

Those sconces/shelves are right next to my main front door. This morning, when leaving for work, I closed the door, and heard something falling onto the floor inside. I opened the door again, to discover that one of the sconces had suffered a malfunction. The back wall metal mounting device had separated from the main plastic body, and everything fell to the floor.

Fortunately, nothing broke. It turned out the scres used to connect the mounting device to the scone were only about 1/8 inch long.

The end moral is, do not display anything of value on these cheap $1 scones without reinforcement nmaterial. I will be taking my Hukilau mug down until I can find a more reliable means to display it.

Dollar Tree items may appear to look good at first, but don't expect much structural integrity - especially for $1.
