I purchased this tree after having to put my 3 year old tree on the curb for garbage pick up. I went to every local store I could think of. I knew how many lights (at least 1,000) I wanted and how wide I wanted it to be. I just couldn't find anything with my requirements under $600. When I saw this tree on-line I thought it was beautiful. I am even more impressed now that I have it up and decorated. It was easy to assemble and fluff. Delivery was fast. Would recommend this to others
