The tree was as described. It was easy to set up and after some fluffing, it is pretty full. I really like the PE needles as they look way better than PVC types and this tree has a good mix of the cheaper PVC to fill in the center and the better-looking PE on the outside. It isn't entirely full and you can still see through it in places and can tell it is fake, but that is part of getting a fake tree in my mind. It looks great in the living room and we are pleased.
