It’s my first time buying a hinged tree and im so very glad I did. This has to be the best tree I’ve ever purchased. It was so easy to put up and looks full. If you’re looking for a real look to the needles this tree isn’t for you but the quality is much better than other artificial trees. The only reason I didn’t give this item 5 stars is due to one of the wires in a branch being 
exposed. Luckily I saw it before I was injured.
