Well I guess I should have read some more before my purchase because I thought this was battery powered. I can't use it for the front door because there's no way we can run a cord from there. Also, I was disappointed that you can't see the pine cones. They are all attached at the back of the wreath underneath the fluff of everything else and you can't see them at all. This really needs something added to it, or it just looks like a boring snowy wreath. The pros are that it is good quality, nice and thick, and looks pretty. I will find a place to use it and spruce it up with some added decorations.
