This is my daughter's first artificial tree.  She loved the real looking tips at the end of the branches.  It could be a little fuller, which maybe we need to fluff it out more, but overall, it is a great tree.  My only complaint is that one of the metal pegs that would slide the top section into the middle section was broken.  We were able to epoxy it, but it is still not as sturdy as it probably could be.
