    Comments about Stainless Steel Gazing Balls:

    Like the gazing ball; however, put in all day direct sun and seems to be fading. I would purchase again.

    The perfect gazing ball for my garden

    Comments about Stainless Steel Gazing Balls:

    I looked and looked for the perfect gazing ball for my Herb Garden. I found it here at Plow and Hearth. The price was right, the ball is stainless steel so it won't break and I can leave it out all year.

    Comments about Stainless Steel Gazing Balls:

    I bought this at the same time as I purchased the Glow-in-the-dark gazing ball and wish I had bought another color of this one instead. The one that is supposed to glow is totally plain in the day and doesn't glow at all at night while this one looks very pretty in my gardens. If I had it to do over, I'd buy a red steel ball like this blue one and FORGET the plain-Jane one that doesn't do what it is advertised to do!

            Comments about Stainless Steel Gazing Balls:

            I really,really like this!! It is the second I have purchased. One is in a large potted plant on the back cornor of our pourch. If we are sitting at the side of the house; we can see if anyone pulls in or comes to the side door.My great grandaughter (1&1/2 yrs.) likes to watch her face move in close to it and laughs at the different looks she sees! Fog around it at Halloween time gives a spooky, mysterious look.

                After I had the gazing ball about a month, I noticed it was fading from the western sun. i called and the person I talked to was very helpful and said that should not be and they would send me another one with a return label so I could send the faded one back.

                Got the gazing ball for my garden. Wanted something durable and unbreakable. Wanted the product last fall but the color I wanted (blue) was sold out then. Was glad to see it back this spring.

                Verified Buyer

                Pros

                • Ball is stainless steel
                • Ground stake is sturdy
                • Not breakable like glass

                Cons

                • Mystic color not brillant

                Best Uses

                • Yard display

                Comments about Stainless Steel Gazing Balls:

                I wish the "Mystic" colors were brighter. We live in an area with high winds, the stainless steel ball works perfectly for us. We do not have to worry about it breaking like glass would if it should get dislodged from the ground stake.

                Gazing ball has a wonderful mirror finish and can be turned to reflect different colors as my flowers bloom in my garden. Wish it was a little heavier gauge steel though.

                  Loved using these gazing balls as decoration in iron urns on my porch with fresh greens spilling over. In the summer, enjoy using them among the perrenials and annuals.

                  My husband has quite the garden. This ball is beautiful with its coloring. It is especially neat when the sun shines. The fact that it is weather resistant and unbreakable are great features.

                  I received the mystic ball for Christmas and just put it outside this spring. Already the coating is flaking off. For the price I thought it would hold up outdoors. I am disappointed with this product.

                  I had pruchased this ball for my daughter last year. When I mentioned that I had gotten one for a friend. She told me that the one I had gotten for her had faded to silver. Making the color permanent would be a good thing. I'll not purchase another one.

                    This low-profile (12") gazing ball stand adds just enough heigh in my garden to make the gazing ball stand out discreetly -- with style and class. The low heigh of the stand also keeps the gazing ball steady and safe! Great purchase, great value!

                      This gazing ball is overpriced for the quality. The coating on the ball began peeling off within two weeks. Don't buy the colored gazing ball! The plain stainless is not that bad.
