We've been avoiding buying an artificial tree for years--too fake looking or too expensive. This year, a real tree was not practical for us, so we decided to take another look. The deal Wayfair was offering inspired us to give this tree a try. We were pleasantly surprised. The tree is the perfect size, beautifully lit, and actually... it looks wonderful. We are very happy with our purchase. It does take a little time to set up properly, but we didn't have to drive to a tree lot, pick one out, and tie it to the top of the car.
