It could be really pretty. But the ‘fluffing’ required to get there, is just too much for me. We have really high ceilings so I bought the 7 foot tree, pre-lit. I wouldn’t buy it again just because I’m not willing to put that much work into it. It’s been up almost a week, and I spend time fluffing the branches, a little each day, and it’s still not close to where I’d like it to be. The cords for the lights are woven all through the branches and when it’s not plugged in (lit) you can really see them.
