Can confirm that the brown protection film was very easy to remove after running it under some hot water
My package arrived on time and the product was exactly as promised- it was even a little nicer than I expected.  I don't have a really large amount of brushes, so I had plenty of room on this tree for all of the ones I use on a regular basis.  A few of the very, very small ones wouldn't stand up exactly straight, but the holder could still keep them off the counter, just at an angle.  Can confirm that the brown protection film was very easy to remove after running it under some hot water.
