This year was my first using an artificial tree and I was afraid it might look very fake. At this price point I wasn’t expecting it to be great but I’m pleasantly surprised. With enough fluffing, the tree looks very full. It took about an hour instead of the 10 minutes the instructions say it will take, but the finished product is worth it. Much better than trees I’ve seen going for twice the price. It’s got a nice amount of lights, too.
