Took the plunge on a more expensive tree and glad we did. Be aware there are a LOT of individual branches. At the very beginning of each branch fold the first few little branches back TOWARD the center of the tree. This is key to filling out the trunk of the tree. After those first few little branches.the tree will spread once again into 3 more individual branches.each of those with more little branches to fluff out. Try to massage the branches out straight.and in all directions! ALL DIRECTIONS is also very important to filling out the tree. These are fairly good tips for any fake tree.but this tree is particularly good. It actually LOOKS like a real tree that isnt perfectly triangle shaped. All the lights functioned out of the box. Lots of extra lights included Pretty easy assembly. No tools required. We didnt use gloves and did get some scratches.so I would recommend those.
Awesome tree with some patience!
