Well, it’s official, I’m an artificial tree believer! I never write reviews but this tree warrants one for anyone out there who isn’t sure about this tree. For the last 22 years I’ve always had a real tree but this year, with the kids older (and me too :) ), I decided to try artificial. I have no regrets! This tree is beautiful and looks real! Was easy enough to set up. For sure had to fluff it, which took me about an hr, but worth it. Now to decorate it!
