I was looking for an alternative to a tree skirt for a smaller tree that we have in our living room. This tree is small, only 6' tall from floor to the top. It has three legs that extend out to about an 18" circle. I was using a tree skirt for it but had trouble finding one that wasn't too small or too big. Plus the dog slept on it every time we left the house. I tried a metal collar thing (for the tree, not the dog) but had trouble getting size right. This was only $10 and I LOVE the vintage ornament design!
It uses plastic tubing to hold its shape and there are little elastic loop to feed it through. The large hoop is for the bottom and the smaller one for the top. That's important!!! I read from other reviews that a second pair of hands would be helpful and yes, that is 100% true!! It can be hard to wrestle it alone. That's why it gets 4 stars for easy to assemble! It will also help to use a pair of clamp pliers to hold the loops open. That made it way easier! For storage, you can disassemble the whole thing or just separate the tubing and it kind of rolls up. I got it at the end of the season so we will see how it holds ip next year after being rolled ip for the year. The cream color does show dog hair but not the makers fault that I have 2 black dogs. I below this would also work for a much larger tree that we use in another room. But that tree spins and has a light up Star Wars skirt so it's not needed there. But it would fit!! So far I am very happy with it and glad I have it a try! Now to find a matching topper"¦

The media could not be loaded. I love this collar, the red color is vibrant and the silver snowflakes are sparkly and glitter doesn't come off. The collar covers my 7.5 ft tree really well. It's very easy to set it up and looks expensive, I bought it last year, after New Years for $7.95 and it was a great deal! Perfect accessory for your Christmas tree. I highly recommend it.

It looks nice. It is a pain in the butt to thread the tunes through it and one of the tunes bent in the process. Otherwise, it looks pretty and serves the purpose.

At first, when the package arrived flat in a polymailer, I was thinking "˜Oh this is going back'. But, I trusted the process, feeding the tubes through the collar to take shape (slightly annoying). When put together, it was perfect for our tree! As annoying as it was to put the tube through the collar, it's going to be great to take apart and store after Christmas.
