Festive Artificial Pre-Lit Red Berry Garland

First - this garland looks great. Very full of red berries and meets expectations there. All the berries are made of some sort of coated foam. This works for the larger berries, but the smaller berries are actually just bunches of foam coated in the same way. The foam is incredibly fragile, so these smaller, prolonged bunches are very delicate and tend to snap off, or the coating on them flakes off leaving very prominent white spots. The whole setup is very very delicate and I am skeptical about how long this will last, unfortunately. You can use a red sharpie to color in the spots, which is decently effective, but it is still annoying. The addition of the lights is essentially pointless. They require C batteries (what else uses C batteries) and are sparse. If anything, they just makes this garland more complicated without providing enough illumination to actually add to its appeal; I would prefer if they were not a part of this and the savings were passed on to the berries themselves. Finally, the garland comes packed away in a box folded in two. Unfortunately, that creates a fold in the base of the garland, which makes it difficult to get it to lay flat. All in all, great job on the look, but the quality is lacking, the lights do not add anything, and the packing made it difficult to get the product to lay flat. Not sure if there are any other options that look as good as this one out there, but the downsides are pretty annoying.
