I have always had a real tree.  I never saw a "fake" tree 'til now that I liked.  This one has just a little "extra" with the added berries, cones, and frosted tips!  So pretty.  It arrived quickly and I got a nice deal by ordering AFTER the holidays!  I plugged in the lights to see if they worked and they did.  I did not put the tree together, but I am confident with the nice packaging that all will be okay.  Wayfair has always done well by me.
