Fast easy set-up with the hinged branches. Requires much fluffing and manipulating of branches and stems to get a realistic look. Showing photo of it undecorated with the lights as well as a decorated shot, so it does flesh out well. Tucked some natural pine cones close to the truck to hide some of the branch hinges, which were obvious in some spots. That and the plasticy look and feel of branches are why I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars.  It it does dress up well.
