This is a GINORMOUS bag. I bought it to store a 7.5' tree, and there might be enough space in this bag for two of them. So I probably could have chosen something smaller, but I guess it's better to have a bag be too big than too small. I was kind of hoping the material would be thicker; it seems a little thin. But I dragged my heavy tree in it down to the basement, and the bag--including the handles, which took a lot of weight--is still intact. Only time will tell how it will hold up over years of use.
