We are pleased. My daughter bought some pine scented stick you stick in the tree that make it all the more Christmassy. We were told those sticks begin to smell rather foul after a few weeks so we memorized the locations of them and will replace them should that happen.
It looks real, from a distance, but not much of a distance. It's not overly symmetrical which pleased me. Setup was quicker than we expected, than we were told it would be.
It's not decorated as yet. The only one somewhat disappointed in it is my granddaughter who thinks it's not quite 'full' enough... but I think once decorated it should solve her issue.
The size is amazing, in that you couldn't have custom built a tree to fit more perfectly into our Christmas Tree area... height, circumference, it's like it was made for our home... that's just 'luck', of course.
So the JamesJM household is happy... and once again I have been proven wrong - I never thought my family would go for it. - JamesJM
