Waaas? A fake Christmas tree .... that's not the point !!! I've always been for nature, but we need to know that in any "real Christmas tree" in the living room many hundreds (!) Insects live in the form of larvae, beetles, spiders and their eggs, which spreads easily in warm room especially at night , In the spring you wonder then, for example, about nice larvae in kitchen spices or strange Gekrabbel under the carpet. Only reason I decided sacrilegious legally for an artificial tree. For weeks I can be made by DIY stores etc. and search the internet to finally me to decide for this product. I realized that you absolutely must spend more money on a good artificial tree that were all disappointing cheaper! Quick delivered (kudos to Amazon and its Belieferer!) And unpacked. The foot is quickly deployed and sufficiently stable in a straight formation of the tree. The tree consists of 4 different elements. The bottom two are unfolded after the umbrella principle and like all the other most simple assembled. Appearance: The branches and the trunk are well wrapped, by bending the branches you should hide them well. The needles and small branches are deceptively similar imitation and soft. There is no plastic smell! The color scheme is very realistic. In fact, one has to take into account right 2 people almost 2 hours to turn the many branches in the right direction. In the lower branches but one should be careful and not overburden the joints on the trunk, they would cancel. During bending, it is advisable not like a fan to drape the branches, but in three dimensions, so turn branches from the bottom up, then the tree looks beautiful full and you can not see the root. But then the result is incredibly good: Looks like the real thing. I'm sure that a forester from a meter away hardly a difference to real tree recognizes: Thus Highly Recommended!
