Yes, I would recommend this artificial tree. I looked at other brands but "with lights" included. We went with the "unlit" tree. It is full, lush and beautiful. One thing you want to might keep in mind is you will need a pair of gloves to assemble the tree as it was scratchy to pull the branches down and apart and fluff. Also, my gloves were just white cotton gloves and they were quite dirty. Just something to keep in mind. This is a beautiful tree. There is no tree trunk plug in on this tree which would've made things a little easier. This tree also holds ornaments really well, I have several heavy bell ornaments which the branches have been able to hold without a problem. My husband said the height was underestimated due to the wheeled tree stand. However, the quality of this tree and the wheeled tree stand are top quality. We had to relocate our tree topper angel because she's about 9-10 inches. We should have about 6" but we have 3" for a tree topper for our 8ft ceiling. We are in the Pacific NW and ordered the tree 12/11 and received the tree 12/17. I believe it shipped from GA. Considering the time of year we ordered it I feel shipping was prompt. 3 big boxes, directions were great. Just wear gloves.
