If the contents are poor at best and the case cant be used for a decent "make your own" kit because its poor quality plastic and NOT WATERPROOF, then what is the point? Super disappointed with this on every level. 4stars because it’s just plastic. A really nice change from my usual Birkie Madrids. For an item like this, its really a yes / no evaluation in my opinion -- does it consistently work, or does it not?Unfortunately, this does not. LOVE them. Again, if you are mindful of how you are wiring and installing this string of lights, you should be pleased overall. The assembled measurements are actually 34 inches across including the elbow joints as you can see in the pictures. Instructions are a little vague but once you get it charged and connected the sound quality is pretty good. They really stand out. I love that these slippers dont get too hot!
