I couldn’t be more pleased with this tree. This is our first artificial tree. It took a bit longer to arrive than originally planned, ans the box was a bit beaten up, but the tree was in great shape. I did need to reconnect one branch (The pin had fallen out, but it was in the box.), but it was easily done. This tree is full and looks amazing if you take the time to fluff all the branches. I watched the video from the manufacturer’s website, and it was easy to put together. We liked that we could order one without lights and add our own. Very happy with our tree and with Birch Lane.
