This compares to much pricier garlands that I have seen on the shelves .... After spending about 10 minutes  fluffing the branches of the 2 nine foot garlands that I ordered, they did indeed look as thick and lush and with the 200 sparkling lights were breathtaking .... My biggest fear with mail order is being disappointed with the article not matching the picture in the brochure or online.  All of my experience with this manufacturer has been perfect.  I have already made a list of Holliday decorations to order this season.  String lights, led candles all priced as economically as any I can find online . Will send photo soon ...
