When you pick up the product for the first time, you notice the size and length of the garland. With a total length of around five metres and a reasonable thickness, it can be classified as a large decorative element as part of the Christmas decorations.
The artificial needles feel good to the touch and do not fall out even when touched for the first time.
Overall, the garland has a uniform thickness and is reasonably stable, so a certain longevity can be assumed.
The first impression of the Christmas decoration element is very positive.

The Christmas garland was subjected to an extensive practical test.
With regard to the flexibility of the branches, it was found that they can be bent and shaped differently depending on taste.
The colour uniformity of the garland is given over the entire five-metre length, so that it shines in intense green and yet does not look artificial.
If you take a closer look at the needle density, you will notice that the needles have been evenly and yet not too artificially moulded into a garland shape. The overall density of the product is quite harmonious without appearing fake.
With regard to the load-bearing capacity with decorations, it can be stated that the garland can be decorated with standard Christmas decorations such as Christmas baubles or small pendants and fairy lights and still retain itsstability and shape.
Thanks to its shape and length, the garland can be customised in many ways and can be attached to doors or banisters, for example, and shaped according to preference.
This product scored particularly well in the practical test thanks to its natural appearance and versatility.
