I am allergic to pine trees. So fake Christmas trees have been my family’s tree since the ‘60s. Yes they had fake trees back then. This tree was the easiest tree to put together and shape from any tree I’ve had in the past.  I also enjoyed not having to put lights on it. I thought the number of lights already on it was sufficient, but if you want more it’s easy enough to add more lights.  Some people complained about the tree not being full enough, not liking that you can see through the branches. This is true. In all the years that I have had a fake tree, not one was ever full like a real tree. Perhaps if I would spend hundreds of dollars on a fake tree, I would get a much fuller tree. But, DO NOT buy this tree if you are looking for a wide tree. This tree is narrow. It’s suited more for a small corner/ area. Just remember, it’s a fake low-cost tree, not a real one, plus even real trees have their flaws.
