Really turned out to be a beautiful tree! I now wish I ordered the bigger size. However, I still love how it looks. It was easy to assemble, though it takes some time to get the branches unfurled, and I have received compliments from everyone who sees it. My sister saw it and is now ordering one for herself! It doesnt really even need ornaments hung on it (but my boys said I have to). You will have a little vacuuming to do after set up because of the glitter and snow dusting that falls all over the floor... but it really wasnt a big issue considering the tree looks great once set up.
