National Tree Pre-lit Artificial Tree

I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy and artificial tree this year. I had a budget to stick to and when I found this one and all the great reviews I went for it. Putting the tree together was a snap...even for a 5'5" 120 lb woman by herself. I made the mistake of NOT fluffing the tiers one at a time before adding the next one, but managed to make it work anyway. I am not sure if taking it apart will be as easy as putting it together yet as it is still up. It did take more time than I thought it would to fluff out the branches...approximately 2 hours. I read other reviews that the tree did not look like the pics they saw etc...it was probably because they did not spend the time to fluff right. That being said - after i finished - it did look good and actually had family and friends come over who thought it was a real tree until I told them otherwise. I wish it did not take so long - but it's still easier than going out to pick out, buy, secure in stand and sweep up pine needles of a real tree ...and it really does look real, especially with the lights on. i think I will enjoy it for years to come and i would recommend it to friends and family.
