This tree arrived on time and in a great big box.  My husband stood it up and plugged it in for me.  I thought it would be fluffed and ready to decorate within an hour.  Ummmm, no.  This tree has so many beautiful branches and most of them separate into three parts.  Fluffing time took, I kid you not, 2 1/2 hours.  After all that time, the ornaments were placed, the tree topped with gold ribbon and lights set to the soft white that doesn't have a harsh twinkle but a soft fade out, the tree is Magnificent!!  It was totally worth all the time it took to prepare.  Taking it down may be another story  

Pros: Looks real and the light settings are fantastic
Cons: It takes a lot of time to separate all the branches.
