I just set up my new 4ft tree (no ornaments yet).  It was packaged well with a solid box that I can use again for storage. I put it together in a few minutes. The branches are life-like except for the top 6 to 8 inches. The top is very sparse. I will fill in with plenty of ornaments. Another comment would be that I prefer a remote to turn the tree on which this tree didn’t have. Otherwise this would have been a 5 star
