This was my first flocked tree purchase so maybe I am ignorant to how they work, but I was not expecting the snow to be falling off every time you so much as look at the tree. Snow is everywhere, continuously falling despite me thoroughly shaking it out (after realizing how much loose snow there was), big clumps and fine powder. I expected a little, but every time I touch the tree snow falls - I thought it was be stuck on. And then the bottom portion of the tree is covered in thick clumps of snow all over and it just looks messy rather than like a heavy snowfall. The flocking seems uneven, very heavy and clumpy in some spots, very light in others. I wish I had tried to make the return earlier because now I can't. I will say the lights are fairly evenly distributed.
