I bought this tree 2 years ago and love it! Once fluffed out, it looks like a designer tree. You really don’t need too many ornaments because it is pretty on its own. I will say that it does shed a lot. Not the needles, but the white flocking stuff. The white stuff gets everywhere when you take the tree out and set it up. Once it’s up and decorated I don’t notice much fall out, but be prepared to take the vacuum out when you set it up/take it down. After 2 years of use, it still looks really good and you wouldn’t ever know that the white stuff has come off.
