After “fluffing” the tree, the tree looked really good.  You could see light through the tree, but with work & ornaments, you could fill in the spaces.  The lights were a little too few in some areas, but by moving the branches to a different position, you could help with that.  Like the option to change the lights from multi-color to clear.   Love the vivid lights and full shape of the tree.   Overall, the tree is beautiful.
