Very pretty tree!  Purchased unlit so that I could install my own choice of bright white LED lights, which is a hard option to find in pre-lit trees for anywhere near this price. Flocked "snow" makes setting up a little messy, but the look is well worth a bit of clean-up!  The type and way the branches are arranged makes it a great tree for decorating as my large 8" diameter glass balls and other larger themed ornaments hang beautifully without laying against other branches.  It makes for a very beautiful and elegant tree!
