First impressions, wow!  This tree is absolutely gorgeous, truly stunning!  Assembly was a breeze, takes some time getting the branches just right, but well worth the time and effort. I wish I would've worn gloves, my hands and fingers got scratched up pretty good. All in all, I'm extremely happy with this tree. The lights give the tree a glowing type effect, really looks pretty at night. This is the first tree I've put up since I lost my mom a few years ago. This one's for you mom!
