This is a beautiful tree once all is said and done, but it's not for the faint of heart.  It is extremely heavy and bulky and takes an inordinate amount of time to fluff and fill out.  Plus you get pretty scratched up by the branches.  It definitely takes multiple people to set it up and take it apart.  While it was truly lovely once assembled, I don't see this being our tree for too many years, it's just too difficult to set up and take down.
