This tree is exactly like everyone described!  It is very full and life-like, and I love the different options for colored or white lights, 9 different programs for lights.  Great product for the price and I highly recommend this tree.  It does take a while to fluff all the branches (like everyone said), but again, it's so full and pretty, that it's worth the time it took to fluff it.  I am extremely picky about my Christmas tree and this one definitely is a beauty!  You will not be dissappointed!
