National Tree Company Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Garland, Green, Crestwood Spruce, White Lights, Decorated with Pine Cones and Berries, 9ft Review

I received the item today and it was wrapped so tightly on itself that it took me a few minutes to figure out where to start with should start unpacking. Nothing was attached. You need to put berries and cones on yourself. There are no silver bristles so it doesn't look like the picture at all and the headlights came loose and in a bag.

It took me 40 minutes to cram some life into it. Thought I'd need a florist and a defibrillator while I'm there. The light is dim but ok if for some reason you hang it in another dimension where there is no electricity or extension cords. I personally buy a nice bright string of lights for this and keep the batteries out of the landfills.

This garland is just what I was looking for. It looks realistic with touches of glitter and just the right amount of red and pine cones without being overbearing. It took me a while getting it out of the box to give it the shape I wanted it to lay flat on the coat and fluff it up again but I guess that was to be expected. It's not battery powered, it's plugged in. I was a little disappointed that the chord didn't lengthen at the end of the garland. I used it for the coat. My outlet is next to…
