We love this tree. I took a chance by ordering one online but are nothing but pleased with this purchase. Everyone who sees it comments on how nice it is - and has so many lights - can't complain about that at all. There are a couple of spaces where there are some gaps with branches but i try to fill those in by strategically decorating or putting some extra green fake garland in. And really, it's not bad at all. When i see other people's trees around the holidays it strikes me what a great quality this one is.
