This is 3 to 3.5 stars. It is pretty sparse, even when painstakingly fluffed. Some people may like the look of a sparse tree and use ornaments to fill it in, then this is the tree for you, but if you prefer a fuller tree (and I do), then this is not right. It is not really what the picture shows. However, the size, both height and width are great! It's not a skinny tree and not a fat tree either. It really is just a perfect size for a corner. This is a good apartment tree or perhaps second tree for a smaller room.
