The only reason I took one star off is because of  the weight and thickness of this garland. If you have a fireplace mantle or a flat surface, this would be perfect. I have not tried to put it up yet (I'm a post-Thanksgiving decorator), but I'm not sure it will work over the archway that I intended due to  the weight. The thickness may also be a concern for this location since I would need to figure a way to wrap it around my wall hooks. It would be a lot of weight on the hook....in my opinion. I may see if I can wrap it around my stair banister. I'm not certain it will be long enough for that, but I may give it a go. I do have to give a shout out to the company for the most incredibly fast delivery. I ordered it one day and received it the very next day!! That was impressive!
