I’m alergic to pine needles so we’ve had an artificial tree for years. Putting it up and taking it down and putting lights on it has always been a royal pain. Not anymore! I ordered this tree and had it up in minutes to make sure it worked! Beautiful and full with lots of lights. Liked it so much that I ordered a second one, one for upstairs in the front of the house and another for the family room downstairs! Fantastic price and am very pleased and looking forward to the holidays!
