Although I "ordered" this from Great Offer Stock, I got an email the next day that they were out of stock. I ended up having to purchase it from the competition. I purchased it to replace a similar, 9', pre-lit tree which I purchased thirteen years ago. The tree is very pretty. Great Offer Stock had a fantastic price - comparably. The tree is super easy to assemble, however tweaking and arranging the branches takes an incredible amount of time! I agree with the other reviews. In order to get that "full" affect, you can easily spend two hours, branch by branch, fluffing and bending the limbs. Annoyed, I actually post-poned decorating it until the next day, because I spent so much time perfecting it. In the end, I was very pleased. If you have young children or grandchildren, I suggest doing the prep work ahead of time. Otherwise, they to will become impatient in wanting to decorate it right away. Of mention, one third of the lights on a particular section were burned out. National Christmas tree company was courteous, easy to understand, and were quick to resolve the problem.
