Purchased in red and gold. Although decorations are plastic you cannot tell with most of the items in box. They all look sparkling with the glow of the lights. I like the idea of shatterproof with pets and small children. I did have to add hooks. Opted not to use the beaded garland as it looked cheaper and it was short overall, amazing purchase for the price. I used to decorate 6.5 tree in bedroom. Only added ribbon and a few bows I already had. Tree looked like a million bucks and I received many compliments.
