I bought this for the flip setup, which met expectations. I was surprised that the lights were sloppily strung - I could have done a better job. Quality is not in line with the high price. Wouldn't recommend if quality is the most important feature.

I was able to unbox and totally set up this tree by myself! Simple and not too heavy. I was worried about the see-through gaps between branches, yet with fluffing of the branches (3 separate "fluffing" sessions before decorating), floral picks, ribbon and lots of ornaments, the gaps are not noticeable.
The lightig choices are wonderful. No issues with shipping or damage. Arrived as it should.

This is a great tree that has taken some time for me to get used to. We had a Balsam Hill Frasier Fir for years and this year went to this Red Spruce Slim tree. Point #1: This tree feels MUCH smaller/narrower/skinnier than a Frasier Fir, and while the proportions of the two types of the tree are similar, slim = skinny but not sparse. Point #2: "Candelight" = yellow/white lights, not soft white lights. Also took some time to get used to but now we feel that the tree just generally looks warmer.

This is our first artificial tree. We really appreciated the easy setup and natural look. I didn't miss watering it or cleaning up the dried needles that cascade off a natural tree. The tree was prelit with white LEDs and we added a string of red lights for contrast. It made for a beautiful display. The branches were strong enough for our heavy ornaments similar to a natural tree.
