I have been searching for a good tree for weeks. I saw this one and decided to take the plunge; I have not been disappointed. Was a bit uncertain when it came out of the box, but assembly was very easy and once I had the branched fluffed out, it was gorgeous. The lights glow nicely and it is very full. A minimal amount of glitter will fall off during assembly but it is nothing a quick vacuum job won't fix. Very impressed with it so far, hopefully it lasts for many years!
