I just got the tree out of the box and spent some time fluffing out the branches. It is my first artificial tree and I think it looks pretty good. It seems like the bottom 2 rows could be spaced a little farther apart. A couple of the branches are practically on top of each other. I haven't decorated it yet and that always makes a big difference. I hope that when that's done it looks great. Overall I think this tree is a good deal for the price.
