A nice, strong bag, made of tent-like material, does not stretch. Much better than cardboard or a flimsy garbage bag. Metal rods on tree did not puncture it and did not look like they would when being handled, but I also wasn't rough with it, either.

Nice full length zipper came in handy when loading and unloading, which was a breeze. 7ft tree had room to spare (in 3 pieces). About the length of 2 average plastic bins side by side.

Someone stated that this bag was not really like a duffel bag like in the picture. They must have received a different model or something because this bag is just like the picture. It fits my 7.5 foot Thomas Piccone three section (very bulky) Christmas tree perfectly and with room to spare. It's nice to not have to work at it to get it stored away like I had to with the tree's supposed storage box, which turned out to be just the original shipping box and there was almost no way of getting it back in the darn thing without getting my arms and legs scratched trying to tie it tight and without ruining some of the bulbs and also breaking a huge sweat in doing so. This bag seems sturdy enough to do it's job. I wouldn't recommend moving it around too much once it is in it's bag. I packed it right in the basement, so there was no transporting necessary. I would probably take the tree out in the basement in sections and bring each piece up to set it up again come Christmas time. I just wanted something to protect it from the mildew and possible mold and moisture. I can't comment on how it holds up to that yet as I have only just used it this season. I will have to let you know come Christmas time how it smells. :) Great bag for the money. It's like a tarp material, not super sturdy, but so far so good.

Definitely better than trying to stuff that tree back in the box. Actually the bag works OK. No big issues after two seasons. It is thin material so you have to be careful not to poke holes in it. I put the base of the tree and other sharp ends in a small box. I doubt the handle can carry the bag with a large load so we carry ours from the ends.

WOW! Very large bag. I have a 7' doug fir that is a three piece design. It fit in half the bag! This would be a GREAT bag if your tree is very wide/bushy.

I have a 7.5' tree that I needed to store after this last Christmas. Although this bag LOOKS like a duffel in all the pictures, in reality, when you get your tree in there it's a very large rectangle (at least 2' tall). My tree didn't even fill half of the bag. Carrying the bag is very cumbersome and I'm very glad that I don't have to handle it again until next Christmas. That said, the material quality and sewing were up to par. I might just be stuck with this bag for many years to come since I don't want to shell out for another bag that might have me in the same boat.

Literally, this bag is too much. My 7-1/2 ft. tree is in 3 sections and doesn't take up half the space in the bag. The only thing I could do to keep things manageable, is to slide all the sections of the tree to one end, double the bag over and tie it with bungee cords. Even so, the tree takes up more than twice the space it did in its box and I'm left with an ugly red eyesore. I would have been better off with a large trash barrel. Maybe I can bury it in the back yard and dig it up once a year.

This bag is way too big for our 7' tree (my fault I suppose). The tree parts all slide down to the bottom (we store it on end) making it short and fat and cumbersome to store. The back is a lighter than expected weight similar to a cheaper tarp. There's nothing to help the bag hold its form so things just slide to wherever the like within. The handles are also simply stitched to the bag, they do not go around the back meaning any heavy tree being carried has the strong potential of tearing the handles or bag. I've already heard some pulling/ripping and we've only had the bag for one season. I will likely look for a smaller more sturdy nylon/canvass style bag for our tree more similar to the fabric of a duffel bag.

The good news: so far it's held up over a year
Not so good: With the handles ONLY in the middle it is very difficult to manuver taking it back into the cellar for storage....should have two sets of straps 1' forward of center and 1' back of center to give balance and enhance manuverability.

Best thing we could find so I will continue to struggle with it; zipper and strength of bag is good

Huge bag that my 6 ft christmas tree (3 parts) fit in just fine. Huge bag though and I needed my daughter's help to put it on top of the boxes. Not sure how long it'll last since it does seem a bit flimsy. Not going to touch it much but twice a year (get it out and putting it back)
