Christmas Lighted Gift Boxes Decorations, ZALALOVA Set of 3 Light up Battery Operated Christmas Outdoor Decorations with Bows for Home Yard Christmas Tree Decor (Golden Green Red)

Okay, lets start with the CONS.When they arrived much of the glitter attached to the "boxes" had already been sloughed off, so the bottom of each shipping container had a good layer of "the herpes of the craft world" getting everywhere once opened. Then I proceeded to to begin the arduous task of putting them together which basically entails zip-tieing each corner, plus strapping the cords of each battery operated xmas light string enough to keep the battery box somewhat inside the open-bottomed "container". Then I blew through the family's AA supply powering each box, one of which didn't work.PROS:These look beautiful and can be arranged any which way you please and one day before Christmas as my wife was coming home she was afraid I had left them turned on all day because of my bitching about only turning them on a few days before Santa comes to preserve the $20 in batteries we blew, but come to find out they are so reflective and dazzling in the sun you couldn't tell they were off. In short, they're worth it, if you don't mind the rest of your decorations, while stored for the year, getting herpes as well.

I can't comment on how they look put together because I didn't make it that far. My fault for not researching a bit better... these were an impulse buy. I thought they would be something I could just pop up and it would be together. Cons:1) Glitter everywhere... total mess.2) You have to use zip ties to put the boxes together and string the lights inside. It's not terribly difficult but a real hassle and would be difficult for anyone with poor eyesight, arthritis or decreased fine motor skills. At the end of the season, all of these zip ties will have to be cut apart and discarded before they can be broken down and put away.3) Cheap - as I was putting the first box together, I accidentally dropped the battery pack on the counter (about a 3" fall) and it was done. No longer worked. At that point, I was so aggravated with the whole thing and the mess it had made with the glitter that I packed it up to be sent back.

1. The entire thing comes unassmebled. You have to put it all together with tiny zip ties. Each box takes 10-15 minutes or longer if you want to do a really nice job. Are you wanting an arts and crafts project?2. Each individual present requires 3 AA batteries. Do you want to manually turn on and off each present, or were you expecting to have them plugged into to your master light system? This matters.3. You are paying $60+ dollars for this. Think it through. That's quite a bit of money for a battery powered arts & crafts project. If you are happy with this outcome, then it's money well spent. For me, I wanted instant gratification along with "plug and play" just like any other Christmas decoration, so I returned mine.4. The boxes are never-ending glitter bombs. They will leave glitter everywhere, especially on your work surface where you assmeble them. I have 3 kids and fight a never ending war against glitter spreading around everywhere!

They came with NO instructions so it was a little challenge to assemble. They look nice but are fragile.

I was surprised that these were flat packed and putting them together is a bit fiddly also the ties to attach the lights were just thrown in the box not bagged so finding them individually at the bottom of the box was a tad irritating but I like that the lights can be either flashing or on! And once put together they look lovely!!

I bought these on an impulse and I regret it. They are super annoying to assemble and all of the Velcro fell of the bow toppers before I even touched them. Assembly involved the addition of duct tape and hot glue in order for them to stay together properly. They are incredible light weight and I had to weigh them down with large rocks so they won’t blow away outside. There is no way they’ll last…not worth the money or trouble.

Only draw back is the amount of glitter on them lol. I ended up using light I already had inside but comes with a good amount of lights

These are strictly for use indoors unless rocks are used to weigh them down. Fairly easy to assemble. The bows didn’t exactly fit & don’t stay assembled. They are pretty at night not so much in full light.
