My first artificial tree I had for 22 years and it was tired looking. When I read how easy assembly was with hinge branches and prefixed lights it was a no brainer. I purchased a slim heavy flocked tree last year and although pretty and easy my adult kids missed the fullness.  I received the Princeton in yesterday and in an hour and a half had it assembled and fluffed.  What a difference in product quality.  Love the realistic branch tips and agree with other reviewers that if you put your hand on every tip it will be worth it.  I purchased a 9’ storage bag for my 7’5” tree bc of the fullness so I could keep the shape as much as possible.  Now my kids enjoy helping me put up the tree!  That in itself priceless.
