Just got a chance to open the box. First the artificial needles are made of paper. Decided to take out the top piece anyway and plug it in and look at it from a distance. From a distance it doesn’t look too bad but unfortunately didn’t have lights all the way around, too many bald spots. 
Even if It wasn’t missing lights I don’t think I would keep it because paper leaf branches wrinkle from packing if your not extremely careful. And who has time to put a tree up fluff branches then iron before decorating! 
I prefer pine needles that look real and don’t crush.
