This is a lovely tree and the price makes it even better.  I shopped local for something similar and this was the best deal out there for a good quality tree. I expect it to last for many years to come.  I bought this for a vacation condo where I needed something slender & wanted to stay with a shimmery white look with silver ornaments.  I went ahead and put it up this past weekend.  Assembly for very easy. Just three pieces that fit together and then are plugged in to each other.  The box was not so heavy that I couldn't manage it myself.  Just what I was looking for!!!
