They are smaller than they appear in size.  I had to purchase 2 large heavy pots to put them in to prevent falling over with East Coast winds.  Quality vs. Cost should be evaluated with a fair/reasonable purchase price for a porch set of two (2) at $140.00.  When the battery timer is used make note of durability issues in rain or snow conditions.  I taped mine inside a plastic bag.  Last, the light inside the red ornament gives off a purple colored twinkling light (not ideal).
