I wanted something different this year and took the leap on this tree. I'm a "real tree" only girl usually, but I am pleasantly surprised with how much I loved this tree. Assembly was super quick and easy (comes in 3 parts) and the 'fluffing' up of branches didn't take too long either. I got so many compliments on the tree from work colleagues on Zoom (it was in my background)...I will enjoy this tree for years to come!
