I bought this 12 ft prelit tree to replace a 14 yr old 12 not prelit tree and was worried it would not be as full as what I had already. I will say it is not as ful,  but the prelii aspect and what it looks like up and decorated leave me pleased with this purchase. It looks great and has plenty of lights. First time up still took about 4 hrs to open up all the branches and fluff up to look natural, which I'd guess from now on should only take about 2 hrs. But still way faster than my old one with individual branches and strings of lights which was an 8 hr project. Pleased with this purchase.
