I was so excited when my package came.  I opened it as quickly as I could and pulled the tree gently from the box.  The branches were all standing upward from being stored in the box until I stood it upright on the floor.  Then one by one the branches slowly opened up, like a flower blossoming in fast motion.  It was so gorgeous that I could feel my heart beating!  Thank you for an awesome experience and such a high quality product.  It is exactly what I wanted!!
