I was a little hesitant ordering an “open box” tree but shouldn’t have been… it was perfect! I love, love, love this tree for its graceful and perfectly flocked boughs, the 9 foot height is gorgeous and the lighting is warm white and perfectly spaced. Best of all is how slender and graceful it is. I don’t have much room and it fits perfectly without feeling small, it has plenty of presence in my living room! It arrived quickly and got here the day before Thanksgiving so we got it up (so easy) but not decorated and it was still gorgeous all on its own on Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it!
