I was a little nervous buying a faux tree online, but I am so glad I did!! This tree is awesome! Looks very real and expensive. I’m posting a few pictures since that is what helped me really see what the tree looks like. The branches look real. The needles look real. You need to make sure you pull the ends of the branches apart. That is what fills the tree up!! It comes with a link to a YouTube video that shows you step by step how to fluff. I love it so much!!
