We bought this tree at the end of October. It was time our other tree had its last Christmas last year. This tree is absolutely beautiful looks just like a real one! One thing you must do with any fake tree is take your time to fluff it and it will all be worth it! We put this up two days before we were going to decorate and I fluffed it so it was ready to go! If you don’t take your time to fluff you will not get the full look but anyone who buys a fake tree should know that. Definitely worth every penny I know we will have this tree for a very long time. I have included the before and after photos.
