This is one of the most realistic looking artificial trees I have ever seen... it compares to any of the high-dollar trees out there.  I decorated it with a pheasant theme and it looked gorgeous.  The perfect height in front of my bay window. I received so many compliments.  I am a single woman and had no problem putting the tree up by myself.  After Christmas, the restoring back into the box was a breeze. Can't wait to put it up next year!
