Really happy with our purchase of this  National Tree Company faux tree!  I liked the natural look of the tree’s shape, as well as the soft branches; it reminds me of all the Norway spruces as well as Frazier firs we’ve e had over the years. I also like that there is room at bottom for our train and for presents-unlike many others that go almost to the floor.  Yes you should be prepared  to spend 2-3 hours spreading branches to fluff  but it needs “tender loving care” to make it as full as possible.  With just the lights on it-it was already was looking great!  Perfect height for 8 ft ceilings with just enough room for our angel tree topper. Nice shape and very life-like and the branches are sturdy to hold heavier ornaments.
