I absolutely love this tree.  It was extremely easy to put together.  It arrived in four separate pieces and didn't require any tools.  I've looked at a lot of artificial flocked trees and I was pleasantly surprised by the width of this tree.  I was also impressed by the amount of flocking.  It is heavily flocked and I only lost a bit of it when putting it together.  It is a very full tree and looks beautiful on its own and when decorated.
