To be honest, I really wasn't sure on this one, even when it had arrived.Packing is excellent, all laid out nicely, no bent leaves, and curled onto itself like a snake. Just very well packed.Opening up, no funny smells, no errant loose leaves. I did get some green dust, which I suspect is from the cutting of the leaves. No biggie, just be aware if you have children or pets.So, I left it for a week. All snakey coiled up. Decided this morning to either use it or sell it again.I'm delighted! Only used half of it, 6 strands, and it brightens up my kitchen no end. I have a batten that I wanted to hide because you cannot put a blind up due to proximity to the boiler cupboard door, so it seemed a useless gesture. With Venetian blind fitted inside the window, so the batten remained noticeable.With 5 retaining nails popped into the top of the batten, to hold the ivy, I set about hanging my ivy. Really pleased with the result, makes it look so much nicer now.I'm saving the rest to either cover my utility boxes outside or for my shed once I get that done. Heartily recommend.

Very realistic leaves, super easy to install on the wall thanks to the repositionable sticky hooks - I've had to reposition two because of a mistake and the paint underneath was absolutely fine.One thing to note is that it doesn't really work to tangle the fairy light around the stems if you want them to be hanging - they end up being twisted and showing the back of their leaves which is not as realistic and looks messy. But instead I got the lights to frame the leaves and I'm delighted with the result.

These were exactly what we needed to cover a space, a bit fiddly and overwhelming when there are so many of them, slightly tangled together, but the finished product looked great. Intertwined with some lights, they look really good, and inexpensive too.

I’m really pleased with this purchase. I bought it for a wedding anniversary last month to dress our house and recreate our special day a little bit.As some other people have said, the ivy does smell strongly when it first comes out of the packaging. I pegged it all out along our washing lines for a couple of hours in decent weather and the smell was hugely reduced. We didn’t notice it at all when it was up in the house, and it went through the whole of the downstairs area.I bought two lots so between 40 and 50 strands. Overlapping/intertwining the ivy is really easy to create a natural and full effect, and it doesn’t look artificial at all. Some of the leaves fell off as we untangled the strands from the way they were packed, and a few more as we then took them down from around the house, but it wasn’t a huge number, and we’ve kept the leaves to stick back on, so no real hassle.The ivy looks fantastic wrapped over fairy lights - can’t wait to put it back up for Christmas!

Great bought to fill out gaps in my trellis.

You can use them to add a little color to your house, that's what I did. It doesn't look realistic let's get that staight and some of the leaves have fallen and you can't stick them back on unless you have some type of glue on you. They are easy to use and hang onto. It looks better is you use more than one tring togheter since it gives it a lush aspect but at that price I'm not really complaining

After a very long & thorough search on multiple websites and high street stores I settled on this seller. I am so glad I did, not only was my item exactly as described but it arrived in 24hrs. Packaged with the utmost care, easy to separate the individual strands and made with quality materials. I was that impressed I ordered a second one the very next day. I used them to make my own front door Christmas arch complete with red berry lights and it looks amazing. No matter who comes to my door compliments it. I would highly recommend this item from this seller.

I had an ugly blank piece of trellis that resisted any natural growth because of its location. I used two 42-strand packs to cover an area of 3.6 m wide by 1.2 m high. It wasn't enough to densely cover the whole area but It was enough to give us and our neighbours a bit more privacy.I was pleasantly surprised how natural the strands look - even close up. I was considering a similarly-priced matting solution and I think this looks better / less regular.Each pack come with quite a few green tie wraps but I used a staple gun to fix each strand to the trellis. I was concerned that the staples would be too obvious, but they disappear as more and more strands are added. The key to getting a 'natural' look is to just randomly position strands rather than have a 'plan'.The only unknown is how the leaves will fare outside in the weather but at this stage, this was definitely a successful experiment.
