This tree is beautiful!  Any critical reviewers complaining about it being skimpy do not understand that artificial trees must be fluffed when taken out of the box.  The more time you spend spreading the branches, this the fuller your tree becomes.  The company even provided heavy cotton gloves which was a great help.  With past trees I would end up with my hands and arms all scratched.  Not this time.  The stand is also provided and the entire process of putting the tree together was easy and quick.  This tree is a great value.
