Wow, these are so beautiful! I've been looking for a garland like this for my banisters, so I purchased 2. As my husband was added them to the banister he gave me a thumbs up. You'll only have to worry about flocking coming off if you're manipulating it...that's what I've found, other than that this isn't dripping flocking everywhere. I put it over the banister that overlooks our foyer and haven't had to worry about any flocking ending up on the hallway floor. Great purchase! Thanks Wayfair, it really WAS just what I needed!
