The branches are hinged too, so they fall naturally into place, meaning you only have to fluff out the branches on each hinge, rather than positioning the whole tree.

Pulling out the branches and arranging the 'foliage' took a little bit of time, as these trees always do, but was pretty straightforward. The foliage is random enough to make the tree look a little more realistic. In all, I'm really happy with the tree and being 6ft, it fits in our conservatory really well."
