We have double doors so I purchased 2 of these garlands. We also purchased the matching wreath and let me just say, the whole set is a showstopper! Our house is set pretty far back from the road so I wanted BIG and BOLD items that can be seen while people drove past the house and these definitely POP and get your attention! I can't help but stop and stare at my own house as I'm leaving. This garland come pre-lit and need to be plugged into an outlet. I prefer that for large items like this because I won't have to replace the batteries. They were packaged very well and nothing was broken, I am again a very happy customer! Let the holiday festivities begin!
