My wife's biggest concern with getting a fake tree was making sure to get one that looked "full". I think she just meant realistic, but that's the best description I got.
We looked at A LOT of trees in at least 5 different stores during the Xmas season. The one's she liked were double the price of this tree. 
We took the plunge and bought one online, never seeing it in person. We put the together as soon as it arrived, to make sure everything was ok. It looked great and passed the wife test!
