This tree is substantial and very realistic. It is a great value and looks more expensive than it is. I purchased this item for a corner of my office in order to hide a bunch of cable/WiFi boxes mounted on the wall. I was a little concerned when I read some reviews that said the branches were not mounted as low as depicted in the photo. While that is true, the photo is a bit misleading, I was able to arrange the branches sufficiently to achieve the desired result. I'm a happy buyer!
