A beautiful flocked tree, perfect for our southern snow-less winters! The tree is as described and pictured. Nice variation in the size of branches and needles. Makes a huge mess but that is to be expected. These picture are with hardly any “floofing” at all, so I know with a bit more effort it will look even more full. The string lights work perfectly and the kids love the different color options. I reboxed it and the box is a nice size - wasn’t difficult to get everything back in. Very happy with this!
