Tree is perfect! Make sure when the hinges come down you manually seperate each branch. This was my first fake tree and I read the reviews so I knew about this step. But, it’s not super obvious. Don’t think the tree is bare just investigate! Tree is full, perfect size. It’s not too wide which is what we needed. Fake trees get really wide at the bottom and take up too much room in our house now this was perfect. No one even knew it was fake. I added a little pine essential oils to the base and it was just like a real tree!
