I was searching for a small tree for my one bedroom apartment. I searched several sites and eventually settled on this particular tree from Wayfair. Wow, this tree exceeded my expectations. It's beautiful. It arrived early and well packaged. There's nothing to assemble as it comes as one piece. I did spend a little time pulling the branches away from the center. I then spread some of the tips out. The tree is full and reminds me of a blue spruce tree. There are plenty of lights and they all work. It was perfect with just the lights, but I did add some small ornaments. The burlap wrapping around the bottom covers the stand and no need for a tree skirt. I couldn't be happier.
