I bought this as a gift for my mom for her birthday. I was shocked when it arrived in such a tiny box, but I didn't want to open it because they send it wrapped up. I told her to be careful opening it because I had read other reviews where this was a problem. Sure enough, she was careful, but we managed to break one of the star's points in the process of opening it up.While it is beautiful, the sound is kind of irritating, but it isn't really something you would hang up to catch the breeze. My mom liked it and we agreed it was more of an "oooh pretty" rather than "oooh practical."I would recommend seeing this product before you purchase it online.
