First off, the only reason I took off a star is because only the branches on the end of each main branch are realistic; I was expecting them to be all realistic, all the way through the tree.  It still is a really nice tree, and you can't see the cheap branches unless you really look at it up close.

When we first started setting the tree up, it looked like it was not going to be a very full tree.  However, once we got the top two pieces on, and figured out how you were supposed to arrange the branches, it really filled out.  I was able to readjust the branches on the bottom tier, and make the bottom of the tree look fuller.  The tree has the perfect amount of lights as well.
