We typically purchase a live Christmas tree for the holidays. This year, we were looking to put up our tree sooner and decided on an artificial one. My wife likes the look of a flocked tree, so this one was perfect. It came with the base/stand, and the tree which was in 3 pieces. It was easy to assemble and after minor tweaking, it appeared nice and full. The tree came pre-lit with warm white lights. My wife purchased a decorative collar for the bottom to hide the base and it looks great! Overall, we are very pleased and looking forward to having a no maintenance tree that we can leave up longer this Christmas season.
