This is a very beautiful and elegant tree. Because it is tall and slim it actually looks more real than some of those ridiculous fat trees that look so fake. It has adequate foliage meaning that it is not absolutely full like some of the fat trees but again, it looks more real. I like being able to see the lights and ornaments right through to the other side; unlike the opaque wall that some of the fat trees present. The clustered boughs are very flexible and you can tweak them to look fuller or flatter as you please. The only negative for me was the setup and that's probably because I didn't know what to expect. The instructions are pretty much non-existent although it is rather self explanatory; I just wished that the parts were labeled. When in the packaging, you cannot tell which is the middle section and which is the bottom section. However, once I figured that out it went together in three easy pieces. The top and bottom sections fell open quite easily, but the middle section took a little patience as the boughs were tangled in the light cord. I am still trying to figure out how all of the cords are supposed to connect in the tree. Right now they are connected, but I had to run an extension cord up through to the middle of the tree and not from the bottom as I had expected. For this I had to run out and buy a white extension cord. Also, the tip on the tree top is very weak - not meant for a heavy angel. I had to retrofit it with some pipe cleaner to strengthen it and even at that it could only handle the lightest tree topper that I found at a dollar store. The white lights on the tree are beautiful and well-placed. I only wish that a few of them were intermittent for some sparkle. The boughs are made of a flat-needled material (mylar?)and are soft white - none of the ugly iridescent pink that I've seen at the stores. The tree base is approximately 36" wide and fits perfectly within the boundaries of my navy blue tree skirt. Although it is advertised as a modern 'urban' model, it looks absolutely gorgeous sitting in the front bay window of our 130 yr old Victorian home. Finally, I had been looking at white trees in the stores for over a year, but didn't like anything I saw. You cannot beat the appearance or height of this tree for the price. I ordered it in November [...].
