I am very happy with this tree. I was expecting the fake snow to come off easily and make a mess, but it doesn't! It came off a little while putting it together and fluffing, but not bad at all. Assembly was also hassle free. It is full, tall, and looks real. I am looking forward to wrapping warm string lights around it and having it light up my kitchen eating area during the winter months. It is perfect, and just what I was looking for to add a cozy tough during the upcoming holidays. I would 100% recommend this snowy pencil tree!
