Christmas Tree Cardboard Cutout

Our house is in full blown remodel mode after a flood in September. We are stripped down to plywood floors and bare walls while working our way through the morass of insurance problems. We needed a tree that was light weight and easily moved around so it didn't interfere with any of the remodeling crews. This was PERFECT! My partner thought I was a crazy lady nutcase when I told him I bought a cardboard tree but he loved it as much as I did. The photography is almost 3D like. It really looked like you could pick the candy canes off the tree. With 2 strings of lights, and a few binder clips to hold them on, the tree was magnificent! It even came with presents underneath. Love this so much! I thought this might be a "one and done" kind of thing but we will be reusing this again as an extra tree in the house next year. So happy we bought this!

The fireplace is sturdy. The first one I received was partially torn and bent. Amazon replaced it with another one that was in perfect shape. Instructions were hard to comprehend. Had to go back to Amazon and look at original pic. There are parts that need to be bent the correct way. There were no "bends" for me to figure out. It's a great product but the instructions u will have to figure out for yourself.

Moved to a smaller house without a fireplace. Needed something to hang the Christmas stockings on. While kitchy, it is a lot of fun and was able hold our stockings and stocking holders. Putting a couple of red C7 bulbs in the fire added to the effect. As others have said it is a royal pain to put together at first due to the poor instructions. The already attached Velcro pads are to be used to attach the back fire panel to the front frame. The trick is to look at the back panel and make the 2 inch fold along each side to mate up the back and front sections. It is also more sturdy than I thought.

I wanted to use this on my door, but it ended up looking flat. The quality is good, however I did not like the white edges. I had to trim away some of the edges that distracted from the cutout. The seller shipped ahead of time which was great. The size was ideal but I would not recommend this for using on a flat surface.

The fireplace is so little and flimsy. I had to use packing tape to keep it together because it kept coming apart at the seams. Then it looked so little, that I took a box and made a stand for it so it would look like a regular fireplace. I purchased an artificial flame lame to put behind the cardboard fire after I cut around it. After I was done, I think it came out looking pretty good.

Not deep enough to trust it to stand on its own without using something to attach it to the wall. The instructions are a series of poorly done color images printed on pieces of cardboard. The instructions are one-liner captions. The cutting dies they used to make this thing need resharpening or replacement. Many of the slot openings needed work with an exacto knife to remove the waste pieces without also tearing off the printed sides of the fireplace pieces. Flimsy, poorly designed compared to others, and poor instructions with crappy images. I've been assembling these things for my wife for 40 years. This one is by far, the worst yet. It's going out for recycling tomorrow.

Perfect in my large attic window with a spotlight shinning on it. The neighborhood children seem to really enjoy seeing Santa in my house - I even found a letter to SaNtA on my porch. Great Fun! Worth every penny because it is a super easy decoration to set up and take down - that says a lot. The box it came in is nice for storing for future years. Candles in the windows, wreath on the door and Santa in the attic - done!

There is nothing I didn't like about this. The 3D fire is fantastic. We took the Amazon box it came in and cut it down, spray painted it and used as a raised hearth. We also added a board we had to the top. The quality is great for the holidays. I would definitely recommend it.

Nice product. Many photos taken at our staff Christmas Party.

Sorry folks - the colour is poor. Washed out and not bright. The cut outs for faces are also very small. The shipping was fast and packaged well. We decided not to use this item as it would reflect poorly on the event we were hoping to use it for. Better to go without. Keep trying folks - maybe I just got a bad reproduction.
