Love this! It has a perfect amount of flocking to look like it's been dusted with snow. I put one on my mantle and added lots of pine cones, candles in natural tree limb holders, and a couple sets of antlers. It looks like an adorably cozy woodland Christmas mess. My only complaint is that the lights, which require 3 DD batteries, are very noticeably brighter at the end closest to the batteries, and get very dim by the other end.
