This tree exceeds all my expectations.. this was the first year having an artificial tree so you better believe I did my research. I was looking for a realistic tree without spending a fortune- I really wanted a balsam hill but they are ridiculously expensive. This tree is AMAZING!! Every person that has come in has asked if it’s a real tree. It’s so full! I will say it takes quite a bit to fluff but that is expected with an artificial. TAKE THE TIME TO FLUFF and you will be over the moon!!
