Excellent faux tree! My first time buying an artificial tree -- I could not justify buying a fresh tree after all the fires in my state last year and this was such an awesome alternative. The branches are very realistic looking and fluff out so from afar you cannot tell its fake. They also conveniently bend (way better than a fresh tree) so that they hold ornaments better AND each branch is sturdy enough to hold your heavier baubles. Definitely worth the price even when not on sale!!
