I am planning to use it in kids play room and haven't set up everything the way I want and unraveling it before time equals being destroyed by my lil one. But I did put batteries in to test it and it worked fine.
My oldest daughter 6.5 yo has been asking me to get this to decorate the room and make it "magical" and I did buy one but it was way shorter and barely covered one window so I ended up buying this.
