I do like the jute tree skirt.  However it is not exactly as the sale picture presents in that there is a gap between the fabric where it buttons.  I wish the buttons had been sewn further in so that there would be no gap when fastened.  I may resew to create the look I wanted which I'm not thrilled about.  Also the jute itself is not as "linen" looking as the picture.  It is a looser weave and a rougher fabric.  I knew this so was not surprised or unhappy with the appearance of the actual product but for those deciding solely by what the pictures represent I just wanted to let you know:)  That said, I'm thrilled to find jute tree skirts as I love a rustic look for my christmas tree.  I plan to use burlap ribbon  twisted and wound through the tree this year.  Can't wait to see how it all looks!
