I can’t say enough good things about this tree! I chose the non Pre-lit option because I’ve had pre-lit before that burned out a year or two later, negating the reason of getting a pre-lit (not having to string lights). I love my choice!

The branches are beautiful and mimic the real-tree imperfectly perfect look. I love that the center pole has a brown covering because the branches are sparse (in a good way) in certain spots which adds to the real look of the tree. 

The branches are sturdy and easily bendable so you can arrange them however you want. I used 10 strands of lights and it was really easy to wrap them around the branches.

The only negative I have, which isn’t really a big deal to me, is that the stand it comes with was too large for our galvanized tree collar.
