I bought this "Real Feal" tree.  The "real feel" is a joke.  At best a tenth of the tips were actually like I wanted.  The rest were the "plastic" feel.  I thought buying a more expensive tree would provide this but since it is made in China, I should have known the results.  Picture on the website is nothing like the final look and this is after much time in following the recomendations for "puffing" it up.  All in all, I could have bought a three hundred dollar tree from the local HD or Lowes and would have felt better as I spent $510 (35% off).  This tree should be priced more like $300 at list price.
