I had been searching for the perfect item to hang on my covered porch where I normally hang plants in the spring summer....These were perfect because they can rotate and are lit/decorated all around - not just one sided....they provide just enough light to cast an almost magical glow to the porch when lit and can be seen thru the door or window in my living room when looking out.....They were made for just this space in my opinion! Perfect shape with a little fluffing and while I am not a fan of "flocking" there is just enough on the tips to help with the visual appeal. Could NOT be any happier!
