This is a very pretty little tree.  The branches are sturdy and the flocking is realistic.  It also has clear lights that are the finishing touch.  I have this outside in a sheltered location, close to my front door.  I liked this tree so much that I bought an identical one that is larger (3 feet).  The two trees are placed close to each other - it’s a perfect pairing.  Be aware that when you remove this from the shipping box and tweak the branches, that you’ll lose a bit of flocking.  But it’s a tiny amount and you and the tree won’t miss it a bit.  This was a good purchase and I’d definitely buy it again.
