Compared to what the local box stores are offering this year, this is a great looking wreath. It really looks great, and the variety of material types adds to the high quality and natural appearance. The 6h on/18h off timer is awesome and doesn't require any thought. Just turn it on when it gets dark and it'll be on when you need it and off automatically for the season. I ordered two, and they were both consistently laid out and had no issues with loose materials. Only complaint is that it would be nice to have brighter lights. They're dimmer than other holiday lights we're decorating with. We're using them outside and if it were inside the brightness would be fine. They just don't stand out from the house outside as much as hoped.
