I decided to buy a Christmas Tree this year. I hadn't been much in the Christmas Spirit much since my divorce and the sudden passing of both my parents. This tree is so beautiful that it lifted my spirit to Where it should be to celebrate such a special day. It was very easy to put together. It looks so real, and the soft clear lights are perfect. The only complaint I have is that the branches on top are not sturdy enough to support a topper. I had to get creative with some box tape to keep my Star sitting straight. Other than that, thank you for making such a wonderful tree. God bless
