This is a really nice tree.  It has a lot of branches that are easy to arrange and long enough and strong enough to hold the ornaments I plan to use.  I have looked for quite a while to find a tree this nice; most of them had branches that were unnatural in appearance.  You can't tell this tree is artificial until you get right next to it and actually touch the branches.  I was also very happy with the number of lights on this tree; it's a winner to be sure!
