Pretty basic as far as artificial trees go, though Ive seen more realistic ones before.  Loved the ease of putting it together.   Snapped together in 3 peices and the branches were hinged which made storing it again a breeze.  The branches were easy to manipulate so I was able to fill in the sparse areas by bending them in a specific direction.   What I didnt love was the misrepresentation in height.  I ordered a 6 tree and I stood taller than this (Im 54).  I wouldve returned it but at that point I was itching to decorate already.
