When the wreath first arrived, I was disappointed that it was so small. However, the instructions in the box pointed out that it simply needed to be shaped. It is indeed a 24 inch wreath once that is done. I have only two minor complaints. The first is that you can see a good bit of the hot glue when you are standing at the front door. The second is that there does not seem to be any reinforcement in the wreath so that it will keep its circular shape. I hope that does not become a problem over time. I got it on sale, so the price is fine for what I received. ￼
