Love tall, full trees- hated to go artificial after all these decades, but the cost of a real tree cannot be justified.   Did a lot of looking and really loved the look of this tree - it arrived within days - 9' tree - it did not disappoint!!   It does take some time to properly "fluff" the tree but the end result is a beautiful, full tree with great detail - the bristle cones, different branch details and color tones, great lighting and easy to assemble.   Will have to put on a stand in order to get gifts under the tree, that is my only criticism, it does sit close to the floor but an easy fix.  Got a great price on an awesome tree!
