I was going to make my own witches brew cauldron, but by the time I would have bought everything it was going to cost a fortune to make!!! I saw this kit on sale and it had everything with a choice of green or purple remote programmable lights. It looked great as my center piece on my Halloween buffet table. Was easy to assemble and I liked using the glue dots instead of a glue gun. I also had many glue dots left over. Although I struggled a little in the beginning removing the tiny paper dot protector since I have no fingernails and on top of that Osteoporosis in my hands. After doing a few I finally figured out how to remove the protective cover easily and without to much of a hassle.Will buy another next year in a different light color (purple) for my window display. Its the perfect size not to small, not to big.
