Great size and shape! Stand is too wide tho for many of the trendy tree collars

Perfect tree. I am picky and this tree was third one I tried to replace a very expensive tree that was just too short. Love this tree!! Looks full and beautiful decorated

Beautiful shape and fullness if you separate the branches. Color is nice.

The tree is okay. We specifically wanted an 8.5 foot tree, and there was little to choose from, so I felt like I had to settle at first. Because the tree is narrow and tall, it seems a little unsteady, especially when we were decorating the top 2 feet. It took a long time to fluff (a very important step!) and I kept losing my spot. Even though it's narrow, it's a lot of tree to fluff. Next year I will try fluffing each section as I put it on - worth a try. With previous trees I always hid the on/off switch in the branches so I didn't have to reach down to the floor. This tree has a "step on" button so you can just leave it on the floor to turn it on and off (love this feature!). There are plenty of lights, and it came with a couple of extra strands that we didn't have time to explore. I miss the light options (twinkle, chase, etc) that our old tree had. These lights are the new bright white LED, as opposed to the warm off-white of older trees, which I miss as well. But the size is ideal, and the quality is great so I won't have to go tree shopping for a many years.

Beautiful tree, perfect size!!
