The branches are very full, and the amount of lights is incredible!  Extremely easy to assemble, just a little "fluffing" of the branches and you are all ready to decorate!  Very happy with this purchase, it is the perfect size for our needs.  I did not want one that was too wide, (it is in an entryway, near a door), and yet I did not want a skinny, unrealistic looking tree.  It's perfect, and a bargain for the price.  

Pros: ALOT of lights, very easy to assemble, looks exactly as shown in picture. 
Cons: None that I can see.
