JH Smith Co Cordless Lighted Poinsettia Garland,Red

Beautiful to look at

First of all, the flowers were badly squashed when we received them. They were in a flimsy plastic package, and the petals and leaves were bent and creased.The flowers are spaced much wider than they are in the picture. It looks cheap and sad. You'd definitely need to put two together to make it look decent.Finally, the lights on mine are red, not white as they are in the picture. This means the lights are barely visible even in the dark.The good points:* Battery operated, so there's no ugly cord hanging down.* Lights can blink or stay solid on.The bad points:* Flimsy and came crushed and creased.* Spaced poorly, making you need two strings for a lush appearance.* Red lights aren't attractive and aren't very visible.At a lower price, these might be acceptable. However, given the price I expected much better quality. I'm very disappointed. I would expect to find these at Big Lots or maybe a dollar store.

This is prettier than I expected it to be when it is lit on the mantle. I used it with four white LED candles. It is a little cheap looking up close, but no one looks at it up close in bright light, so it is fine. I would order it again.

On my fireplace mantle

It's a nice looking garland and in general I like it even though it is probably not worth the price I paid for it. Need 2 to decorate a mantel and 3 or more for stairs or entry.The only complaint is that the LED light in the middle is red instead the gold color pictured. It is kind of creepy when it lights up. But that's just me. Some of you might like it.

I was worried about how quickly this item would arrive in Guam, since it isn't sold by Amazon, but rather, an outside company. Although the shipping cost nearly as much as the item (I ordered 4,) the product was worth it. I agree with most reviewers in that I am satisfied with the garland. A little primping and arranging the petals and leaves was necessary because of the packing, but once done, it is a lovely garland. I added gold ribbons to fill in the gaps between flowers. I'm glad I ordered this, regardless of the shipping cost. So, until Guam is no longer considered "international," I'll settle for being happy about my purchases arriving in about a week.

I was skeptical at first purchasing this after reading the reviews. However everything was well packaged and the poinsettias were intact. I decorated my fireplace mantel and it looks beautiful. I just wish the lights were brighter but it works very well.

While this garland is a nice color, the quality of individual flowers are very very cheap. The wires came very twisted and intertwined it took some time to unfurl them. Also the flowers are not spaced as closely as pictured, nor can the flowers be reshaped. I have no problem with artificial flowers but usually they can be reshaped, not these whatever happens in packaging and shipping remains a permanent shaped into the flower. The lights do look nice and they all work. But the price should half of the current charge. Very dissatisfied. Wouldn't chance another purchase from seller as this item was so cheaply made.
