This wreath is beautiful, thick and rich, just not the color that was shown!! The example of the wreath was an over all med/light tone of gold and orange with bits of darker accents. The wreath is really every russet, red and orange with very little gold. Over all impression, much darker with lots of russet tones. Quite beautiful but if lighter and goldy orange is what you're looking for, this is not the right wreath. If you are a stickler for size, 26" ;). 4 stars only for color difference. I will keep mine and enjoy it !!
