I am very pleased with both the size and strength of the bag. It holds my VERY full 9' Cashmere Fir quite nicely. There are, however, two things that I noticed that prevent me from giving it a "5 star" rating. 1) the small support bars on the inside that shape the bag are exposed and this allows the branches to get hung up when putting the tree in the bag. 2) The Velcro cover over the zipper goes across the bottom only, leaving the 2 sides open and thus leaving the bag susceptible to dust and critter entry. Aside from these two very minor suggested improvements, I can't imagine there is a better bag on the market and would highly recommend it!
