I was definitely expecting it to look fuller. I gave it four star for the ease of putting it together. It did take some more a while but it wasn't complicated. I truly appreciate the fact that it came with a stand that worked perfectly for it . I was hoping that it was more lower to the ground but I guess space must be given for gifts. But the one in the picture show the lower limb closer to the ground. So I'm not understanding why mine doesn't look the same. Overall, I think it's worth it. It was a gift from last year that I just took out the box this year. I sent a picture to my friend today and she asked me if it was a real tree . So that's good
