I really like this item.  The letters are large enough to be noticed from the road and the fact that the lights change colors make this display pop.  I managed to put out all the yard decorations before the temperatures dropped.  I did use my own heavy duty plastic stakes instead of the thin wire stakes that came with it, like I do for all the yard decorations be cause of winter winds.  After setting "JOY" out in the yard, we had 3 days of 20-35 mph steady winds with gust up to 60 mph.  It didn't blow over, didn't tear and the lights still work.  Can't ask for better than that.
