It is not as bright as the picture suggests. The greenery is much darker, and the lights are white, not yellow like the picture. And the red berries and pine cones seen in the picture are also not as clearly seen as the picture shows. It is also covered in glitter, which I wasn't expecting; because of that it was kind of messy to handle. Not a huge fan of the glitter, but it is still beautiful. I like that it has a timer feature. You turn it on, then it stays on for 6 hours, then turns off automatically for 18 hours and comes back on the same time the next day.
