This tree is simply gorgeous!
It was easy to assemble.
Adjusting the branches and tips to achieve the fullness of the limbs does take some time, but its easy to do.
I have included pictures of the 9ft pencil tree both without and with our decorations.

Our living room is narrow with high vaulted ceilings and this tree fit the bill perfectly.

I was able to get it on sale, and compared to the tree prices online and at the local stores, it was a great bargain.
