The garland hanger really is easy to use. Some assembly is required, but was simple and quick. I had the rod together and the garland hanging in ten minutes. The weight limit is 20 lbs, but my 25ft. natural garland weighs significantly more and the hanger is managing quite well; it has been up for two weeks and hasn't shifted. The bronze finish matches my door handles nicely, although, not much of the rod shows. Very pleased.
