Grade: A-
Pros: Very well made, like a human-sized artificial tree. Packs up nicely in the original box. The branches/leaves are similar to those on my own artificial tree. The sparkles on the branches/pot look really pretty with the lights.
Comes with its own lights that really work!
The decorations are definitely high quality - a lot better than some of my own "real" ornaments! The garland is a nice touch. There are more than enough ornaments to fit on the tree - about half the branches have two ornaments when all the ornaments are on. My favorites are the red balls with seed beads and stars on the top.
The tree topper is pretty and makes the tree about 5" taller. It's on a spring which can make it fall to one side, but that's easily fixed by adjusting the top branch.
It's about the right height to fit in the scenes and settings as long as you don't put the tree topper on.
Cons: The tree is only a little taller than the dolls, which might not be a good scale for some collectors. I don't mind; it just looks like they all got a short artificial tree which is what my own Christmas tree is like, but if you want a tree that would be accurately scaled as a "real" tree this isn't it.
I'd like the tree to be a little more full.
I've had it for maybe 6 years and it's still throwing up sparkles all over the place! ;D
Here are some pictures of the tree from over the years:
