The photos do not do this tree justice. I have gone through a few artificial trees and this one is the best one so far. It is so full and has a beautiful shape to it. It doesnt have that cone shape that other trees have.. And it is full of lights. I like a lot of lights on my tree and I didn't have to add extra because there are plenty on this tree. Everyone that comes by asks me where i got it. They compliment how beautiful it is.
