I had been looking for awhile for the perfect garland for the bannister in our entry hall, not wanting to spend a fortune but also wanting good quality. This garland is thick and well-made. The pine cones and berries are a nice touch without being too much. The lights are very bright. It took some time to fluff this garland before I hung it, but that's to be expected. I'm storing it on a hanger in a garment bag to keep it fluffy and protected. Can't wait to use it again next Christmas!
