Pre-lit Holiday Wreaths
I bought this wreath for the outside of my house as a holiday decoration. I had always wanted a lighted wreath for the outside and this one is perfect.

I bought this wreath for the outside of my house, with the expectation that it would look somewhat like the pictured wreath.
Well, it IS green and round, but the lights do not look anything like the pictures. It appears to me that the lights are supposed to be grouped together, but the reality is that when I put it up and plugged it in, it looked very misshapen. I think it would have looked better if they had either bunched the lights at intervals, or distributed them evenly throughout the wreath. Instead, it just looks poor, with some clumps of lights and other individual lights scattered around, often behind the greenery. I tried to move the lights to face outwards, but the “clumps” of lights are wired together and I didn’t succeed very well.
The good thing is that the plastic wreath itself looks VERY good during the daytime from the street (about 50 feet). Also, the metal frame is very strong and has a nice area on top for hanging. A last positive item is that it was very reasonably priced, and in reality I suppose it is worth about the money I paid.
Shipping is from the east coast and took about 7 days to arrive, though it was shipped promptly. As others have noticed, you have only 72 hours to notify them you want to return the item, which is not a very good returns policy.

The product I received came in a 23″ square box. The company says they measure the wreath at its max point when it is fluffed out. This wreath measures 27″ at best. Like other reviewers, the picture is very misleading and the wreath looks nothing like the one pictured. I called the company and they said they were not accepting returns but they would make an exception. They said I could send it back, AT MY EXPENSE, and if they determine that I received the correct item, I would be charged a 25% restocking fee. This is a very poor policy and the company does not appear to be customer oriented.

I purchased this wreath in hopes that it would bring some Christmas spirit into my new home. I am delighted with its quality and appearance. It was just the right size to display sentimental ornaments I had not displayed for over ten years.

We just bought this large wreath and matching garlands for our front office at a university. Both items are beautiful and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Both are very full, lush, with the right amount of frostiness to the pine, and a few pine cones. Add your own bow to top it off. Or interlace some matching ribbon to the garlands to add sparkle. Ours looks fantastic with a golden transparent bow. Fluff the needles to make it look spectacular, don’t just hang it up without this quick step.
One thing it didn’t say in the item description is that the items are both run on electrical outlets, not batteries. The cables are extremely short on the garlands, so plan on getting an extension. You can attach 2 garlands by twisting together the foliage. The wreath plug is about 3 feet long. I thought it ran on batteries, so I had to cover the cable with a ribbon. Looks great anyway and everyone keeps telling me how lovely it is.
The pictures don’t do it justice. It really warms up the place, even though it’s a sterile office. The lights are clear white and frosted white mixed. Very nice! Worth the price for this impressive duo.
