This was our first time to use this tree.    It was easily assembled and afterwards it was just as easy to take down.  The tree is very sturdy, full looking, “touchable” and pretty.    The multiple lighting options it offered was a VERY nice feature giving so many different looks you can achieve.    We found that getting the tree back in the original box for storage was challenging.. even difficult and opted to used two boxes in the end!   We are happy that we selected this tree and hope it will serve us for quite a long time.
