The tree is absolutely beautiful.  The one negative I found is with the lights.  There were two sections of the tree that was not lighting up.  If one light breaks or goes out a bunch of other lights go out with it.  My previous tree didn’t have this issue.  Took about 30 minutes to find the 2 bulbs that were broken and replace.  Luckily, the bulbs were smashed in half so it didn’t take too long to find but I imagine if a bulb was just burned out,  it would take hours to locate and replace.  I agree with the other comments that it takes about an hour to fluff and makes a mess but the tree is so beautiful that you don’t mind.
