I’ve always had and sworn by real trees. Over the past few years, I began looking for an artificial tree, but could never find one that was realistic looking without spending a fortune. When I saw this on Wayfair, I was immediately drawn to how real it looked and when I saw the price and read the reviews I decided to take a chance. I fully expected to be disappointed with some aspect of it, but when it arrived it was just as beautiful in person! Tree is nice and full and holds up all of my heavy ornaments. What I loved most about it was the gaps it has which make it look even more realistic and allow me to hang my large ornaments inside the tree. I highly recommend this tree! Took a few hours of fluffing branches , but worth it.
