This was the perfect star treetop for our rustic theme to decorate our Christmas tree this year. It arrived as promised, and securely packed in a box. The only little problem was that the plastic holder did not work because it would neither stay on the top tree branch nor hold the star. So we simply decided to place the star without it, and it looks great. I may find an alternative, like a clip to attach it to the very top tree branch for a better grip and more secure hold. But the star looks perfect! I might just not do anything to it, and leave it as is just like in the picture I attached. I definitely recommend this star, and would buy it again if needed.
