Question 1

How full and thick is this garland in person?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers repeatedly describe it as very full and thick, with one noting it has more thickness than competitors they have seen and another surprised by how full it is. The listing also states it has 243 lifelike leaves with no sparse gaps.

Question 2

Does it look realistic?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers say it has a natural green color, a real touch and look, and appears realistic from a distance. The listing describes it as mimicking real cypress with a "real cedar" look rather than a flat, plasticky kind.

Question 3

Is it heavy, and will I need special hooks to hang it?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers note it is a tad heavy and has a hefty weight, so it needs to be anchored better than expected with secure hooks. The listing confirms it weighs about 3.3 pounds and says sturdy hooks or nails are needed to hold it up.

Question 4

Can I shape and bend the branches, or does it hold its shape?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers say it is flexible but sturdy and easy to manipulate into whatever shape you want, though one found it rigid and another had difficulty getting the bends out. The listing states each leaf has a soft wire at its root so it can be shaped freely and stays in the desired shape.

Question 5

Does it shed, and can it be reused?

Accepted Answer

One reviewer reports no shedding and expects it to be durable, and another describes it as long-lasting. The listing says the durable design can be reused year after year and that it is waterproof for indoor or outdoor use.
