the tree no matter how I spread the branches does not look like the picture. I am disappointed. Also it runs on batteries and I don't remember reading that. It is better than the one I bought at wal-mart.If you are going to decorate it you could fill in the gaps and make it full. I have cats and they eat anything and everything and I am not going to decorate it.

Pros: it is easy to assemble
Cons: not enough branches to spread out to make a full tree
