The tree is absolutely gorgeous!! I am usually a very anti fake tree person, but this year we were unable to get a real tree. So I shopped at several different stores and websites looking for the perfect tree for the perfect price. I truly truly feel like this tree was worth every penny !! The little pinecones are absolutely adorable, and the snowy tips were the perfect touch!! The assembly of the tree could not be easier, and the branches were so easy to fluff up! It took us maybe 35 minutes to fluff the whole tree. The quality of this tree is by far superior to ones I saw in the store for roughly the same price. I have bookmarked this tree in my phone JUST IN CASE anything happens to this one (I have cats and dogs ... anything could happen haha).
