Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve always wanted a pink tree and this was my year. It was also my first time with a flocked tree. Yes, you’re going to have a little mess. They provide a large mat to use while assembling, also that’s what vacuums are for. Mine had a slight chemical odor when I first got it out of the box, but it was completely gone by the end of the day. I like that it’s not too pink, just a nice blush color. I can’t wait to decorate it!
