I don't often write reviews but I couldn't help but write about this tree. I received a 7ft tall tree with rose gold and champagne embellishments. I'm used to buying real 8-9 foot Douglas Fir, but thought I might try something different this Christmas because I'm temporarily moving out for a year. At first I was skeptical about the cost. But I did the rough math and found that getting this tree with decorations and lights is still cheaper than buying a plain tree and decorations/lights separately. It arrived in a relatively small box, which was surprising considering how large the tree grew. When I opened the box, I saw that everything was neatly and tightly packed in the box. Jewelry, ribbons, lanterns and other accessories were in a separate, sealed box. They give you clear instructions on how to assemble the tree and provide you with a pair of gloves. I didn't want to use gloves at first, but decided they were included in the kit for a reason. Thank goodness I put them on, otherwise I would probably have bruised and scratched my hands. The branches are neatly folded and attached to a long metal hook in an L-shape. The end of the hook is where you insert it into the "trunk" of the tree. Some of the metal ends had rough edges so getting them into the holes was a bit difficult. I had to use a screwdriver to widen some of the holes so the metal end would go in. Each branch has also been labeled with a color and letter to correspond to the section it belongs to. When you have a layer, unwrap the branches and move from the bottom to the top as indicated on the paper. It was really easy to do and you can slowly see the tree appear layer by layer. Since you can move each branch of the branch in any direction, you can make sure that every little gap is covered. From a distance, the tree looks very real and fluffy. I read some other reviews about it not looking good. Just READ the instructions, they will teach you how to separate everything to make it look beautiful! It's all flexible. Measured against its height, the tree was still very light. It comes in three parts, so you can easily take it apart and move it (without decoration, of course). Once your tree is harvested, it's time to decorate it. To be honest, there is no specific way to decorate a Christmas tree. They recommend that you start with the lights and zigzag up one side of the tree and then again with a different set of lights on the other side of the tree. I didn't realize there were two sets of lights so I had to add a second set of lights when I was halfway through hanging the decoration. It didn't matter much. LED lights are also USB plugs rather than traditional plugs. So make sure you have a converter. They provide you with MANY different jewelry styles and small hooks too. The set also includes a long net ribbon, rose gold flowers, tree picks, shiny leaves, small clip-on birds, beaded garlands and a tree topper. I ended up not using any of this because I'm the type of person who decorates the areas you can see. If the tree is leaning against the wall, this hidden part won't get much love (maybe some decorations, but it definitely won't look like a facade). Even without using all the included decorations, my tree looks very full and majestic. FYI, there are a lot of sequins on the decorations, so be careful. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and can only recommend it. The quality and variety of the accessories offered have paid off. It is so beautiful that I may never want to take it off. *Disclaimer: I was not offered anything for this review. This is entirely my personal opinion and experience.*
