This is my first artificial tree. I used to make real trees, but our county stopped accepting trees after Christmas and it was too difficult to cut them down or pay for landfill, so I started looking at other options. I thought it was easy to install. and fluff. It looked pretty good even before I started decorating it. I wasn't sure if the branches would be too thin or look weird, but I felt they were pretty close to the real thing. You have so many options when decorating or buying a garland to fill open spaces. The reason I didn't give it five stars was that I'd like: - the brackets at the bottom to be green instead of silver to blend better with the base - for the lights to start out as steady, not flashing. Permanent is either the last lighting mode or almost the last and it's a hassle if you turn it off you have to go through all the settings again. - That the top had a strong upper branch, like a real tree. I don't know if you can see my star above, but I couldn't connect the branches to keep it upright. I had to adjust the branches around the bottom to somehow hold it. I'm trying to find a topper that doesn't require placement in branches. Maybe a cylinder. The only broken detail I had was that one of the lower branches was broken and hanging under the others. Once I put something underneath it should make a big difference. You can pack anything that just decorates and supports. You can see it in the first picture, but in the second, from a different angle, it's not very noticeable. I got this product for review and I'm a pretty honest rigorous reviewer and it has to be perfect or not. Design flaws according to the price to make it five stars. I feel like $87 is the average price for this size pre-lit tree. In fact, I'd rather have no lighting modes, just constant ones, so I don't want to pay too much for it myself. Although I am planning on moving next year and if I have a big living room I could get a bigger one and that would be something to put outside and use different outdoor lighting modes. I currently have this in my family TV room and don't want to turn on the flashlights while I'm watching TV. :) All in all I think it's a pretty good tree. When I decided to do this I was mainly interested in how real the tree would be and I thought it looked pretty good. I have a storage bag to put it in so it doesn't press on the branches. I probably wouldn't want to use the box it was sold in year after year so I would suggest either a rubber lined box or a wooden case for storage.
