The tree is very full!  Usually, I put artificial trees in the corner so I can pull the branches  forward to hid/fill bare spots.  NOT WITH THIS TREE.  It's great.  It was easy to assemble.  It is sturdy.  My 2 large dogs and 2 ornery boys have yet to knock it over.  It took a while to fluff out all the branches but that's because there were so many branches.  So glad I purchased it!
