I purchased this because it's the unlit version of the very realistic tree recommended by Young House Love. It's large, so measure to make sure it fits your space. Easier than previous trees to fluff. We refluffed once it was up up, and it looks even more realistic. We recommend fluffing the top section before assembly, since it's so tall. We prefer an unlit tree, since we won't have to worry about lights going out, and can change colors of the lights from year to year. We haven't found anything not to love about this realistic tree.
