I normally purchase real trees for Christmas and decided to change it up a bit.. This is the 7.5 foot tree.. Its beautiful, I was able to decorate with ease. The instructions are not worth reading (too extra), in my opinion. I just used common sense.. I love that you can easily adjust the branches to your liking.. I decorated  the tree for Thanksgiving.. I think its beautiful.. this picture doesnt do it justice.  Great purchase! No issues so far.. Buy it!!
