A bunch of eye candy first year. In pieces the following year. Needs to be taken apart each year or will never make it through the storing period.

THE STAR WAS WAY SMALLER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE

Although I have only had it for a few brief moments as I bought it in preparation for the holidays as I wanted to ensure that I had it available the very moment I start decorating for the holiday season so my comments are based on the few minutes I have tested them and I have no information regarding longevity. I have seen versions of this light around town for the past two holiday seasons. They are extremely eye catching and give a one of a kind look that very few people will have. If you are a little like me and like to show your neighbors up with your holiday lights you can't go wrong by buying these lights. They are the most gorgeous lights you could hope to find and will be an instant conversation piece. The tubes easily unscrew from the central hub to allow for easy disassembly / storage. The packaging could / should be improved as the light rods are only protected by a little bubble wrap. Although nothing was damaged in route you may want to find a better way to store them in the off season. Although I must admit I'm not sure how to better store them at this point.
