I did A LOT of research on trees before I purchased one.  I really wanted a Balsam Hill tree, but they were so much more money.  I've had my current artificial tree for 19 years!!!  This tree fits our space perfectly.  It's a darker green, which I love.  It has a richer look to it.  I didn't take any time at all to assemble & "fluff".  I did it myself while my husband watched football!!  I can't wait to decorate it & get the lights on.  I ordered unlit because I didn't want to deal with failing lights.  Thank you Wayfair for making ordering a breeze!!
