Beautiful garland that looked great without even having to fluff when it came out of the box. These pictures show what it looked like straight out of the box - I never fluffed it because it already looked so good. This garland takes D batteries so the battery box is a bit bulky, but can be pretty well hidden. We put this up before Thanksgiving and took down after the new year and never had to change the batteries. Love that it’s on a timer. Absolutely recommend - it’s gorgeous!
