I originally bought 2 of these trees to place on my balcony but they were so full and busy that they obscured my view of the park so I placed them in my garden instead. They look very real and very full. You just pull the branches down like you would with an artificial xmas tree.

The only issue that I have had is that in the recent high winds some of the branches have blown off. However a little bit of bostik glue solved this problem. The tree that was sheltered slightly by the shed faired much better and no branches came off.
