I absolutely love this tree. I previously ordered another 8 ft tall flocked tree on Wayfair that just wasn’t full enough nor y’all enough and this one is very full and wide on the bottom and the measurements were accurate. It’s to be expected with flock for there to be a very big mess but I would add warning that this particular flock is very sticky and impossible to get off of clothes without a lint roller. Be prepared for a huge mess and time consuming cleanup. But it’s absolutely beautiful and full and I can’t wait to decorate it this season!
