The tree is just like the advertised one. I generally do Christmas in July, but couldn’t help myself with the purchase in June. This is a welcomed addition to my holidays can’t wait until December. The handling of the tree were easy to assemble and fluff. I didn’t completely fluff but you get the picture. Very satisfied with my purchase and will probably purchase another one. Liking the slim look and not the overly bulky ones I have for the past twenty years.
