Like some others we knew that our old tree would not make it another year, so we ordered this tree a week ago. IT IS GORGEOUS! Thanks to the other reviews, I was expecting it to be nice, but words are failing me on how to describe it. The lights are bright and look like little stars. I thought that the gloves would not be needed, but we were glad to have them. There are many, many little "needles" on this tree and when you get through "fluffing" it, there are no bare spots. The lights go to the end of the branches and melt into the foliage. We got a 6 1/2 foot tree for a room with an 8' ceiling, it is perfect. With the angel on top, it is about 71/2 foot. The color is also prettier in person. If you could grow a Christmas tree from seed, and prune it every year, you might get one as pretty as this. I would suggest, if any one from Balsam Hill is reading this - a tag of some kind to help locate the electric connections for each section, would be most helpful.

Very nice tree!
it has some people fooled thinking its a real tree!

When I first opened the tree I had my doubts about how it would look. Once I finished arranging the branches, it looked like a real tree. I am really pleased with my purchase and know we will enjoy for many years to come.

Realistic, easy to assemble and the best thing is that I'll have it next year!!

This is the first Christmas tree for my son's little family. They are extremely happy and excited about it. My daughter in love picked it out and was thrilled.
