We just received our tree this week. So yes today, October 8th, we set it up to make sure we liked it. This tree is stunning. We had searched and searched for just the right flocked tree. A couple of things; first, you are going to have to spend some time "fluffing" the tree. I spent about 2 to 2.5 hours but the end requests are gorgeous. Second, the flocking is wonderful. Most of the "mess" only occurred when taking the tree out of the box and that wasn't much. I pulled, tugged and shaped every branch and barely any flocking came off. The flocking is also so soft and sprayed on the lights and the inside of the tree. Third, this is not an overwhelming or super full tree. It is far more realistic. Like something fragile found in the woods. We are not taking it down. It is beautiful as it stands and I'll decorate it closer to the holidays. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending this tree. We have looked for the last few years and I'm very happy we decided on this magical tree

Really cool looking flocked tree, and looks really awesome with the multicolored lights. The branches are a little thinner than I thought, but it still looks awesome. I like trees with a ton of flocking, but never could find one that looked good. The flocking isn't hard feeling either, it feels softer and doesn't have fall-off.

I have been a fan of retro christmas trees since I can remember. Trying to find a decent flocked tree is beyond difficult and the ones I've seen at local stores are usually garbage. I came upon this site through Google and gave it a shot based on other reviews here. <BR><br>I'm SO excited about this tree that I want to let everyone else know you'll be, too, once you see this thing. Fantastic job on the flocking on this tree. It looks just like a tree covered in snow and has nice color branches with evenly layered snow flocking. It doesn't take away from the look of the tree and the flock is believable (in other words it doesn't look caked on and clumped/fake). The lights have a light flock on them as well which really brings out that snow-covered look and just wouldn't be the same without it. <BR><br>This is definitely the best-looking flocked tree I've seen let alone owned and anyone thinking about this should think no more.

I always put up a few trees at Christmas, but have not been putting up my old flocked one because it makes such a mess with the fall-off (and after years of use, it is missing a bunch). When I saw your selection of flocked trees, and read the reviews, I decided to purchase another one. Boy, am I glad I did! The flocking is totally amazing and looks like a tree right out the forest with fresh fallen snow on it. It has an appropriate amount of flocking on inside as well as outside branches, and is not just clumped on. It is very realistic. It clings to the branches so well, even when I pulled it out of the box & set it up for the first time. Friends and family love this natural beauty so much that it has now become our main tree.
