Nice garland, looks gorgeous on our stair rail.  Even from fairly close up the greenery has an almost realistic look and is reasonably full.  Doesn't look skimpy at all.  I also purchased some red berry garland to add to this.  However, I can't believe that nobody else has mentioned the huge battery pack!  It is approximately a foot long, maybe 1.5 inches wide and HEAVY!  This requires 3 "D" batteries.  According to the picture shown, I assumed that this would be a smaller battery pack (since that is what was shown) much like every other battery powered light set I own.  Lights stay lit for approx 6 hours, I'd have liked the option to choose longer times such as 8 or 12 hour.  If I had to do it over again, I would consider a plug in garland and just run a cord rather than these huge battery packs.
