I am a little disappointed. My tree is 6’ but its smaller around than I expected and it’s not as full as the photograph. There are many gaps where the center is very visible. I need to do more branch adjustments which may help, but I don’t think it’s possible to fill all the gaps. Some of the flocking does come off but it’s probably not any worse than needles dropping off a live tree. This is my first artificial tree as I have always had live trees, so to be fair, I am a bit of a tree snob. I’m sure by the time I make more adjustments and hang ornaments I’ll like it better, but I don’t believe this tree would look good without ornaments, as just a stand alone snow frosted tree.
