I was surprised at how easy this was to put together.  It is too soon to say how it will look outside with my Crystal Nativity scene as we live in a retirement community where  decorations cannot be outside until 3 weeks before the holiday.  It looks beautiful lit up, as we did try it out in our garage - I was a bit disappointed with the lights in the head of the angel as there were only 3 there - perhaps they have moved down into the body, but we did not notice that until after it was together, and for this year, I was not about to take it all apart again.  On the whole, I love it!!
