This tree is beautiful if you have the patience to fluff the branches properly. I actually took my whole tree apart and started over after I watched the video on the company's website which showed proper "fluffing" techniques. I would definitely recommend watching the video BEFORE starting. There were a few lights not working when I plugged it up the first time, but they give you an ample supply of replacement bulbs. One major complaint I have is that there is no reinforcement in the top of the tree. I'm not able to use my star and will have to look for a VERY lightweight alternative.

Pros: Beautiful tree, realistic looking branches, adequate number of lights
Cons: Heavy, top not reinforced
