We bought 4 strands of these and they are going to look beautiful in our home, we might even buy more! HOWEVER, buyers beware, these strands of garland come dusted with silver glitter in places, like some other strands come dusted with white powdery snow. Fortunately the glitter isn't too overwhelming and does not cover the entire garland. And once we tested one of the strands on the railings upstairs that overlook the living room you couldn't notice the glitter at all.  I am sure the game area upstairs will now glisten with glitter for all of eternity,because glitter never really goes away once it is introduced to your house like this, but the guys are just going to have to deal with it. :-P
