I purchased this tree last year (after swearing I would never have an artifical tree).  I was willing to spend more $$ to ensure a realistic look and ample lights.  I am happy with it for the most part, BUT the middle section has noticeably less lights than the rest of the tree.  Last year may family said I was being picky and it was because I didn't fluff it properly.  So this year just spent over an hour fluffing each section and there is definitley a lack of lights in the lower middle.  Would have given it 5 stars otherwise.
