I am absolutely in love with this tree!  I have had a real tree my whole life and just got tired of the mess.  Also the prices have gone up so much on real trees in my area it’s insane.  I searched for months for the prefect artificial  tree and I am so happy I chose this one.  It looks so natural and beautiful even without the decorations.  The decorations just made it even better.  I received so many compliments on it and a few of my friends even asked where I got it because they want to order one as well!   The flocking really isn’t that messy.  Definitely not as messy as needles from the real trees.  I didn’t want to take it down this year and already can’t wait for next year to put it back up!
