I received my Christmas tree and couldn’t wait to put it up. So I jumped right into putting it together spreading out the branches and plugged her in. I am absolutely thrilled with my choose on purchasing this tree. I hung a couple ornaments on the bottom branches, as long as the ornaments are not heavy they work great with or without the ornaments. I read the reviews good an bad before my purchase, I can honestly tell you I am truly satisfied with my choose and have had many compliments on how pretty it looks. I would definitely recommend this to a friend as a matter of fact I already have!
