I gave this purchase a 4 star, instead of a 5 star rating...only because the wreath is FANTASTIC!!! The packaging however was atrocious!!! I can't believe it made it without being damaged!! The company seriously needs to rethink their shipping boxes!!! The description states it's "plastic"...I assume they mean the flowers, which I found to be soft & velvety, to the touch. It works extremely well in my bedroom & I am very pleased!
