LOVE LOVE my tree.  I bought this one and 2 others.  Instead of a "normal" Christmas tree, I bought 3 different sizes and places clear lights with snowflakes and red berries.  Underneath, made snow mounds with pillows and a snow blanket.  With a few other little touches (old Santa and sleigh) It was stunning and everyone was wowed by it.. The quality of the tree was everything I wanted and expected..
