My husband and I love this tree! The branches take a bit to fluff like every other artificial tree I have ever helped put up, so it was as to be expected, you get a beautiful tree out of what you put into it fluffing the branches! This is my first experience with a prelit tree so that was a bit difficult fluffing and untangling some of the wires. Overall, it will be a great tree for us for years to come I’m sure!
