Absolutely beautiful! This is one of the most realistic looking fake trees I've ever seen.Last year our old tree's lights went out in the middle section, so I knew I would need a new tree this year. We got our old tree from another store two years ago. It was not the same brand as this tree here. Our old tree promised to last 5 years, but after only two, the lights stopped working in random sections of the tree and the needles were starting to look well worn. I wasn't interested in wasting money on another tree like that. I wanted a GOOD tree, one that would remind me of a real tree but without the constant loss of pine needles. I also didn't want to have to worry about bulbs going out so I looked at trees with and without lights. After nearly three months of searching, I bought this one. I just fell in love with the pine cones and the fact that even the photos of this tree reminded me of the pine trees back home in Charlotte, NC.When the box arrived, I was a bit skeptical. It was a large box, but it just didn't look like it could hold a nice, full, 6.5 foot tree. The tree was incredibly easy to assemble. The limbs and branches will need to be fluffed a bit but they are easy to figure out and arrange so that you don't have any gaps.The lights are a soft yellow light, which I love. Each pine cone has a sprinkling of white on it to make them look lightly dusted with snow. The overall affect is gorgeous. I am completely satisfied with this tree.The only two cons I have with this tree are:1. It doesn't have that great winter pine smell. But I can buy candles for that!2. It doesn't come with a box or bag to put it away in. There is no way it will fit back into the box it was shipped in. I will have to purchase a storage case/box/bag for this tree separately.Other than that this is the perfect tree for our holidays.Oh and bonus, if one light goes out on this tree, the rest of the tree stays lit. No more worrying about losing an entire section due to a single bulb!
