This is a beautiful tree, but it's incredibly heavy. We just put it up for the first time this past christmas. Just like the other reviews it did take a little while to fluff up, but once it was fluffed it really was stunning. I recommend wearing gloves while you fluff because you will get scratched up. This tree is huuuuuuge!! 9 ft tall and 5ft in circumference. We had to buy two storage bags to put it in when we took it down. I would buy it again, especially at this price.
