I began putting up my Christmas decorations early this year, hence the mixture of fall décor with Christmas. This garland is very nice and the timer is a great, convenient feature. I thought it was going to be as long as the picture, my fault for not reading the specifications more clearly. .So if your desired look is as pictured, you will need to purchase two of them.It would be better if it had more lights, but for the price its perfect. The garland does make a mess with all the glitter when taking it out of the box. I recommend opening the package outdoors then brining it on once you shape it. Overall, I am really satisfied with my purchase.
