Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Okay, I hope this helps. I was about ready to send this back but discovered how to make this tree look much fuller. The folks that have posted pics of beautiful trees obviously figured it out but I was at a loss. The branches have 3 ends on the bottom. About a foot back from the end, it branches, one on each side for the lowest branches and then one to the right side of the next row up. You have to bend those branches out into the gap and fluff that branches boughs. If you bend them at about a 45 end then fluff each branch, it fills the gaps. You can't just fluff the boughs as they come, you'll end up with balls of boughs and spaces in the middle. (See pics) It will look like it needs more hinged branches but each hinge has multiple branches, you have to fan them out before you fluff the ends. **FIRST PIC IS BOTTOM ROW FLUFFED BUT NOT SPREAD OUT, SECOND PIC IS OF THE JOINT WHERE YOU FAN THE BRANCHES OUT AND THIRD IS OF THE COMPLETED BOTTOM SECTION USING THAT TECHNIQUE.** I hope this helps out. Merry Christmas!
