I just love these solar mini Christmas trees! For the area I put these, they are a perfect size at Close to 2ft tall each. I was quite impressed how bright they are with the fairy lights! The trees each have their own seperate solar box so you can place them anywhere you prefer and the cords are quite long so you can almost hide the box if you dont want them to be seen. You turn these on at the bottom of each box and they can twinkle,or stay solid. We have them twinkling and they compliment the rest of our multicolor lights. It does take a little finagling,to get the light up through the top of the pole and into the star but I got it and the stars light up well.
