Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I couldn't wait to write this review!! I would give this tree 10 stars if I could. **Proper setup is key!!** 4.5 foot tree is very full and lifelike. (See close-up pic of branches.) For those who said it isn't full; I suggest going back and doublecheck that you separated all your individual shoots on your branches. It is easy to have two together and not realize you haven't separated them or angled them properly to fill in any spaces. Some branches had 15 shoots each. (In fact in my video, I found more than the 10 which I counted.) That makes for one full tree! Had I not gone back and taken the time, I might not have noticed. The more time you spend "fluffing" the better and fuller the end result. (Appx 1 hour and worth it.) Don't be afraid to bend (carefully) and curve the individual branches. I found varying the direction and curving some slightly at different angles to be very helpful. Note: Some said the needles pinch...maybe a little; BUT, I see that as a good thing...nice stiff lifelike needles, not flimsy. Also, for the 4.5 foot tree: One 300 light strand did the trick for me. Excellent tree for small spaces. Great value. I am very well satisfied. Please look at the photos and the how to video. Hope this review helps. Happy Holidays.
