This is a great little tree! The lights are spaced well, no gaps. Very full, not a sparse sad little tree. Has a rustic vibe to it. Branches are a little rubbery feeling to the touch, but it doesn't "look" fake or rubbery. We needed a small tree for a small space, we placed this in a brown wicker basket with a fur throw and some beads and it was fantastic. ~ J's wife.
