This lighted spruce mailbox cover is just as the picture shows. I also purchased a beautiful wreath from the same manufacturer. Both items give my home the holiday look of elegance. I really like that I could set the battery packs on each item to turn on and off at the same time. This swag takes 3 AA batteries. I just placed them in the battery box and pressed the on button exactly when my wreath's lights turned on. Now all I have to do is enjoy them throughout the entire holiday season. I'm so happy with this purchase. Wayfair has the best deals on items that make my house a home.
