These lights did take some time to unravel when we first got them, but it wasn't anything too hard. It is really easy to get these lights started, but you will need to find something to plug the line into (a charger piece), which is a bit annoying. Also, if you are planning on hanging these up, you do have to be mindful of where you are going to plug them in, because sometimes that can ruin the look. Also, speaking of the cord, it can break VERY easily. I am unsure if this goes for all of the lights or just the one I received, but the cord is not sturdy and can break if dropped or if it hits a wall.The lights themselves work wonderfully though, and they are a sort of rose gold color. If you lose the remote, there is a little button on the cord to change the lights as well. There were not any problems with the lights going out prematurely or flickering, so I'd say this is a quality product regardless of its cons. They aren't short but also aren't too long, so if you want this for Eid decor I would recommend getting two.
