I purchased this to go above my mantle. Worked perfectly. I love the fact that it is battery operated vs needing to be plugged in. Looked much nicer that way and no messy cords to look at and deal with. Only downside is it has a lot of glitter. Looks pretty, but the glitter just got everywhere when I put it up and took it down. Not a huge deal, but some extra vacuuming was definitely required.
