My first artificial tree, my five year old daughter chose the "options," and is ecstatic!  A nice quantity of lights, heavy flocking.  Yes, some flocking does come off when assembling, although not as bad as I anticipated when reading flocked tree reviews.  Decorating caused slight flocking falling, as does rubbing against the tree, yet again, not more than should be expected.

In comparison shopping I am pleased with the value, and would recommend this tree.
