I only took this out of the box to check for a stand and to see how tall it is since my condo ceiling isn't that tall (about 8’) The size is perfect but I haven’t put it up yet since it’s still two weeks before Thanksgiving. Im not sure how it’s looks with the branches fluffed out yet. I gave it 3 stars because right now it looks pretty sparse and just taking it out the box the fake pine needles are already coming off. I will ipdate after the Christmas holiday.
