We were looking for a tree to replace our faithful tree of 17 years, and ordered this one based on the number of tips and lights which was similar to our old one. It is a little pricier than trees you see on display in stores, but the difference in quality and appearance is evident once you get it ready for decorating. When you first put it together, you'll be unsure of your purchase because it looks pretty pathetic. But after 2-3 hours of shaping it will look full and majestic. It is heavy and sturdily built! I was nervous about ordering a tree I couldn't see in person, but wasn't disappointed. Good purchase!

Pros: Good quality tree, should last for years.
Cons: Ordering based on a photo.
