I purchased two of these garlands to hang down my banister. Two was the perfect length for my stairs, and they were easy to bend into the swag look that I wanted Once fluffed from the box, the garland is very full and the pine cones and red berries add a lot of dimension and color. They look exactly like the picture. There are just the right amount of lights to brighten the stairs, but not to be overpowering. I am very happy with this purchase.
