I love love love this deer! He is absolutely huge but still lightweight enough to carry and move around. There are stakes provided as well to anchor him into the ground if you're using him outside in the grass. Assembly was simple with the photo step by step directions. The remote also comes with its own instructions but is easy to figure out after looking at the directions once. There are endless combinations of colors, patterns, and speed of the transitions that you can do nearly anything you want with this. You can do solid colors, gradients, fast, slow, shimmer, blink, etc etc. There is also an on/off button on the deer itself, but you will need the remote to change the lights. I give this guy 4 stars instead of 5 because there seems to be a manufacturing error with the scarf. The directions show there should be pins to hook the round scarf piece together around the deer's neck, as well as another loop for the two strands of the scarf to hook into the round neck piece. However, there are no attachment points on mine at all, so I am unfortunately unable to use the scarf piece. I think he looks great as-is, but it would have been nice to actually be able to use the pieces that are included. Overall this gets 4 stars for being a really cool holiday piece of decor, but missing parts to attach the scarf.
