We bought a flocked tree from a store originally but once home the lights did not work. Then took a chance on this flocked tree online. It was packaged great and easy to assemble. Once together and fluffed it still had many “empty spots” around the bottom. I wish there was more “flock”/snow on the tree like my original. The tree stand also does not fit in a large tree collar which was disappointing. After 3 days up, the top set of lights went out. Attempted to fix but they definitely went out and it was noticeable.
