The tree was want I was looking for.  No plastic branches.  It was very easy to put together.  The only thing was they said the tree stand would be 8 inches tall. I ordered a 7ft tree. The stand was to help make the tree
taller so know need to buy the 7.5 tree.  So I was disappointed in that. The 7.5 ft tree would of been better choice for me. In all, I was pleased with the tree.  It was really lit nicely with the 1000 LED lights.
