This is a very pretty tree and feels sturdy and durable. I took it out of the box and assembled it just to ascertain that all parts were shipped and undamaged. I was pleased with the ratio of molded tips to PVC tips--it looks full and almost real. I think the price was fair for such high quality, but I was glad I hadn't paid $70 more for the 7 1/2' tree--this one was plenty big enough. Another plus: the tree was fully 7' tall, not 6' tall with one stem shooting up an extra foot.  Two things of note: the bottom two sections of the tree were fairly heavy so, even though assembly was quick and easy, it's not for the frail. Also, I just wish there had been a little variation in the color of the needles to make it look even more forest-fresh.   

Pros: Beautiful tree, excellent quality, easy assembly, fast shipping
Cons: Not enough variation in color of foliage
