I purchased this on the 19th and I wanted this for Christmas for my indoor stairway. I received it int two days without any additional charge for shipping. The garland is as and looks like the pictures and description online. It's a nice piece of garland for the price. I was not sure I would like the pre-lit garland but the lights were done very neatly and tight around the garland. I bought 4 of them to cover the stairway and they had hooks to make it easy to hook together. I looks like on piece of garland instead of 4.  The garland around our stairway is our favorite Christmas decoration!
