This snowman is super cute! He was a bit bigger than I though even though I looked at the measurements. Ours did come with a small but not super noticeable hole by the grommet for the arm. Once assembled, you can't really see the hole so I opted not to return it. The assembly wasn't too difficult and it does go back to pretty flat and fitting in the box. I liked that the cord was long so it will be easy to display inside or outside. The snowman is very soft and did shed a bit the first time I assembled it.
