The Story of The King's Crown



I'm trying to have a bit more fun with my reviewing as of late--taking on fun products and creating silly videos.  Of course, this latest vid is at my husband's expense.  :). 

This king's crown arrived and my husband was less than thrilled, as he knew he would have to model for pics. ;). Whilst the quality control is lacking, it's still a great prop. First, this is definitely sized for adults. It was a little large on my husband. It's constructed of a red flocked fabric and metallic plastic. The jewels are all plastic as well. My biggest complaint is with the glue--it's EVERYWHERE. Strings of glue cover the jewels and the rim of the crown and are virtually impossible to remove. With that said, however, it's effective from a distance! The blues, greens and red in the faux stones are rich and deep and compliment the red of the fabric beautifully. The faux etching on the metallic frame is also intricate and from afar it looks like the real thing.

Overall, keep your expectations realistic and you won't be disappointed!

Note: I received this crown at no cost in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
