Comments about Bottle Brush Trees, Set of 4:

My only complaint with these bottle brush trees is that the glitter comes off easily. This is understandable, but when I received them and pulled them apart, (they had intertwined like a litter of puppies) there was a good amount of glitter in the bottom of the box. Maybe wrapping them individually for shipping would help. I do love them AND the sale price and look forward to using them next Christmas.

strategically placed around a mirror that resembles an ice rink on the table so skaters of all sizes are enjoying winter on my dining room table - no matter what is happening outside! Memories of how I learned as a child to love the sport!

Brought back memories of brush trees from long ago but even though these have beautiful shapes the glitter wouldn't give up--just kept falling and falling and falling. Finally sprayed them with varnish so they were useable. Now they are quite beautiful.

Comments about Bottle Brush Trees, Set of 4:

While the trees appear to be green in the photo, as one would expect, they are actually black with gold tips. The written description fails to mention the actual color.

I was not as excited as I had anticipated, as one side of one was dent in, and the color was way too dark (almost black) and the gold glitter was all over when I took them out of the box

One tree top was bent on arrival, but easily straightened. Slightly difficult to store. Beautiful with your glass buildings on a mantel for Christmas decor.

Comments about Bottle Brush Trees, Set of 4:

These are a blast from the past--just like the set my grandma had! Quality was pretty good--on my set of 4, 3 were very nice and one had some issues with the bristles on the bottom being weirdly skewed from an improper assembly, but overall fine.
One note--my set shed gold glitter like crazy, so be prepared with a hand vac when you take these out of the box!

I ordered two of these. One for my brother. He loved the reminder of the bottle brush trees we had as kids. The other for my daughter in FL who thought it was perfect in place of a Christmas tree in her condo.
