This is my first artificial tree so I did a lot of research before I purchased this tree. I received and assembled it in September 2020.With Covid making thing so dark we decided to leave it up. Is is a beautiful tree that was easy to assemble. It is heavy but very stable when assembled. Has a great selection of light sequences and colors. I bought the "Wide Girth" storage bag, it is a must for setting up the tree. It puts the tree on wheels making it easy to move for decorating. It also makes storing  it a breeze.
