I liked my old tree, but not the lights going on and off. This tree had excellent reviews. The only negative is that it is the same old, paper looking branches. I saw a life like one but did not want to pay over $400. This tree is very full and for that reason it is a great looking tree. Easy to put up and will be easy to store and for the price I am very happy with my purchase. Now to add lights.

Pros: Thick tree but not overly wide. Easy to put up
Cons: Same old branches that most trees have.
