This is a good looking tree, and for the price it can't be beat. It's a little tedious to assemble. Not hard -- there are only three sections. But all the branches are tucked in, so you spend a lot of time separating the individual branches and fluffing them up. If you spend the time, the tree looks good -- not as full as the photo, but no noticeable bare spots, especially after it's decorated. The color is great!
