NOTE: The description on this says 22" wreath, but I ordered the 30". The "body" of the wreath was actually 26", but when measuring the extended grasses around sides, it did make it to 30". Also, it has a natural, dried arrangement smell. (I am okay with that, but it might be strong for some persons) Review: First of all, I paid a lot more for this than I normally would. But, it was exactly what I wanted. I think had it been packaged and shipped more securely, I would have felt better purchasing this wreath. I have ordered wreaths before, and the more fragile ones always come in a light-weight wood "crate" of sorts that fits into the shipping box. This one did not. The wreath was just placed inside of a box. I attached photos. The tape across the bottom / back of box barely attached the 2 flaps. The back would have flapped open had there not been 2 "ties" through the cardboard holding the wreath in place. Without any kind of wood crate, the box was easily crushed and there were gaping holes at corners and long sides. There was 2 pieces of brown paper over part of the wreath. Sadly, some of the shells and items attached had came loose- and for the ones I could find still in the box, I had to glue them on. I am sure quite a bit was lost through the holes that were not securely taped closed. Also the ends of the grasses were bent and broken, to the point I had to trim some off. I have probably order 8-10 wreaths before - and this one was the most expensive, and by far in worse shape when it arrived. I think if the shipping process could be improved, and the wreath arrive intact, it would be a good purchase.
