I bought this tree to replace my original one from 2015, that was falling apart & lopsided! The price point was a driving factor- but the reviews helped. I set it up to make sure I liked it, then after some fluffing it looked pretty good. It's not perfect, but it will be once it gets decorated. There is no greenery on the branches as you get closer to the trunk, but I think the ornaments & lighting will hide it. If I need I can add a little garland into the empty space.. It is only October so it's too early to keep it up now, so in a few weeks we will see how it goes. I may revise my review then.

Realistic and worth the price 100%

The tree is 7 feet tall and works well for my 8 foot ceiling to have room for a tree topper.I didn't have an issue putting the three pieces together. I took the time to fluff out the branches and was happy with how full it looks. People complain about it not looking as full between the branches, but I like this fact!Tree decorating: I got the tree unlit because the box is smaller for storage and my husband was complaining about the box size from Costco fitting in the closet under the stairs. (We don't have storage to speak of) While the tree from Costco was pretty, the box was huge and heavy. This tree unlit is manageable and I think I can find a heavy duty tote to store it in rather than it's cardboard box.Tree lights recommend one strand per foot of height to a tree. While that seems ridiculous, I managed to put that many lights on my tree and it looks amazing lit. Our lights change between color and white so we can change them as we like. I also don't need to worry about loosing the cable for the pre lit tree lights- which I have done in the past.I have cats that climb the tree, so all my ornaments are non breakable. I only have a few ornaments from pre-Catzilla, so they are higher in the tree. I put generic orbs inside the tree, closer to the trunk to add more color. Resin ornaments tend to be heavier and with the space between the branches they hang beautifully. These are the same spaces people complain about before decorating the tree. But having the ability to manipulate the branches to accommodate ornaments is amazing.I did have to constantly fluff the branch ends. I think this might be more how I decorate to get the result I want. I'm impressed with how few of the little “needles” fell out of the tree while decorating, and more so when my cat pulls off an ornament.Fake Christmas trees are pretty personal and this one makes me happy. The price is right, even with needing to purchase lights. It's compact enough to not take up too much space. It's lightweight for moving around but strong enough to hold heavy ornaments.I would recommend this tree. I don't plan to need another tree for a while, but I would consider buying another one.

This was our first year purchasing an artificial tree. We have a tradition of cutting down our own Leeland Fur from the local Christmas Tree farm, but it was becoming more trouble than it was worth, so we decided to purchase an artificial tree. This tree was exactly what we were looking and hoping for. It was easy to assemble, sturdy, and most importantly, it looks real. Purchasers note: you will need to spend significant time “fluffing” branches, but it is worth the effort. It took 2 people 1 hour to get it “fluffed” how we wanted it. But again, worth the effort. Very happy with our purchase.

Good shape, plenty of tips. Bottom branches hang lower than others but it's fine. There was a cap on bottom section of tree I couldn't get off so it could fit in stand. Took some doing but got it off finally. I have no idea if the cap goes somewhere after you take it off. Anyway, good sturdy tree for the money.
