I am pretty disappointed with this tree. After taking several hours fluffing the tree it still does not look full. If you are not one to put a ton of ornaments, fillers and some sort of garland on your tree or if you like a lot of lights this is not the tree for you. I do like a ton of decorations and you can still see the pole in the middle of the tree. Several of the lights were not working when we plugged it in so I ended up adding another 200 lights to the tree. Also, the lights are not wrapped very well around the branches. The pre lit trees I have had before I could not even see the wires and the wires on this tree are loose and messy looking. It was very easy to assemble and I did not find it too heavy like some of the other reviews have mentioned.
