Review on Kurt Adler Plastic Garland YAMW4873 by Paul Barnes

I bought four of these 15 years ago when I was putting up my first Christmas tree. I still have these four and wanted four more to better match the larger trees. The four new ones I ordered look the same, although the wire is obviously thinner. Well, after the first year one of my new ones broke in half. This year, in their second year of use, all four broke repeatedly. The wire is thin and weak. I still have the original four skeins that I bought years ago, but I threw away three of the four new ones. Also, the old ones came with a long and heavy tubular bag that was easier to store because it folds up without tangling. All new threads were mixed in a standard pouch bag that could not be reused. Sigh. Can anyone recommend better ones since they are so cheap and flimsy?
