This is a stunning tree when it is all said and done meaning with all of my decorations on it and at 10' tall you can't go wrong especially since it's a slim tree which is a challenge to find. With that said for the price I paid (allot!) I expected the branches to be much fuller. There are large gaps on them which worked out for me since I put really big ball ornaments on them but it might be an issue of you don't. Also the lights are covered in flock and can be scraped off one by one but there are 700 of them! It is heavily flocked which is nice and it gave me the look I was going for. Beautiful tree but for the price I expected better lights and fuller branches.
