I absolutely love, love, love this tree! It's the very first artificial Christmas tree we have ever had. I was hesitant to purchase an artificial tree for fear that it would look tacky. I am a decorator, and VERY particular about my decor. This tree surpassed my greatest expectations. It looks like we plucked a snow-covered tree straight from the forest and put it in our Living Room. My children love it so much, they don't even want me to put ornaments on it. The attached pinecones are the perfect size for the tree, and setup was a breeze.
