Large, sturdy, plenty of branches when fully "fluffed". I can tell this will last for years. However, I did notice in the picture it appears the needles are more shades of green than one, and in real life they are the same shade. But a GREAT tree for the price, and I'm sure it will be around for years. It also assembles really easily...just four pieces- metal stand that is assembled already and you just spread it apart, then three pieces you pop together and open sort of like an umbrella. No looking for lettered branches and putting them in holes- it's all done for you. Also, I think it's a better idea to get the non prelit tree- so you can change the lights yearly, and because eventually the lights stop working on the prelit tree and you'd have to start buying lights anyways and then would have unlit bulbs on your tree.
