i don't know what i think about this tree yet.I have always had real trees so i don't have a base of comparison. I opened it and only set it up halfway to get a feel for it. i have to admit it does seem more full on the photo. After i started fluffing it up it seemed nice but still sort of bare in spots. it is unique. i like how there is a mix of different materials for the branches. i will update my review after the holidays...lets see
