Ordered this for next Christmas. Was ready for a pre-lit tree.  Put it up to see how it looked. Very happy. Wanted a slim tree it was exactly what I wanted. Had to do a lot of fluffing of the branches as you would with any artificial tree. White gloves came with the tree which kept my hands from getting scratched as I was working on straightening the branches. I bought the 9 foot tree. It came in 4 sections. Directions say to add one at a time which made it very easy to shape the tree. I added the pine cones in this picture . The tree doesn’t come with them. I am very happy with the tree. Even with all the shaping of the tree it did not lose any needles. I like the look of the inner trunk detail with brown color needles.
