I have had this piece for 2 years, and it's beautiful. However, it sheds glitter EVERYWHERE.  A small price to pay for the shimmer effect. I also noticed that it required a lot of fluffing on the gold leaves. They were bent terribly from packaging. I was able to revive them though, so you can't beat this for the price! In the photo I had added small pieces of harlequin ribbon to go with my theme.
