I should not even add a picture.  I research trees extensively.  We haven’t had an artificial tree in years and years.  Always get real tree.  I read reviews of this and people said it was the prettiest tree they had ever had.  I AGREE!   It is stunning.  Not hard to put together.  Not hard to separate and “fluff” the branches.  Tons of lights and the red holly berries and pine cones are beautiful.  The white “snow” flocking is gorgeous.  I wasn’t sure I’d like.  I like.  A lot.  I got the 7.5 ft and I am in love with it.  My husband doesn’t really pay attention to the trees that much and he said it was an outstanding tree.  It is worth every penny.
