This came stuffed in a zippered bag. I say stuffed because there are so many decorations with it and the tree is over 3 feet. Some of the decorations are 3D and they're all so colorful. We have several grandchildren that are 8 and younger. They all want to help decorate the real trees, but as we know they're not that helpful. I put this up on our hallway wall and put a low bench under it. The kids can still reach all of it and they have a place to lay the ornaments. This tree got decorated dozens of times over the holidays. I wish I had it sooner. It kept them so busy and no one was telling them where to put things. They were acting like little grown ups. The decorations stick to the tree over and over. I'm packing it up and bringing it back out next year. It was a hit and I'd like to have one in the house every Christmas.
