This is my first fake tree and it is so great!  I could have left it undecorated and it would have looked nice. Everyone who came over commented on what a pretty tree it was. And its not my decor, I dont have a themed tree. But garland or ribbon do a lot to fancy up a tree. 
It went together fairly easy, fluffed out nicely and mostly fit back in the box, defluffing is a process.
