When the tree arrived, I put it together quite easily. However, the top portion of lights do not work. I do not have time to check all of the lights before my Christmas party I am hosting.Update: After moving the tree around a bit, I was able to get the top portion of lights to work. But they do go out if moved around too much. Must be a loose wire in the connecting rod.When I attempted to place a tree topper on it, the tree topper just fell off. After inspecting the top portion of the tree, I found it to be pretty week. So, this year no tree topper. I will have to buy something next year to stabilize the tip of the tree. No big deal.Over all, I really like the tree. I looks way better than most other artificial trees.The tree is really stable once we got it put together and it literally fell into place with minimal branch fluffing. There is glitter -- that was unexpected but it's pretty. So the cat is covered in glitter lol but that's OK, it's nice. the lights work really well and it's a very nice size for a smaller room. Once I threw all the decorations on it, it looked like I paid way more than I did. Would recommend.Has a couple of "holes" in the fir so it looks incomplete. Also the connector where the top & bottom lights join had to be wiggled to get the top lights working. But it is great with a small "footprint" so it doesn't take much space.Beautiful tree, though a bit pricey. Easy to assemble. Did have to jiggle the top tier to get it to light after initial assembly.I was very disappointed in the light colors. I thought they would be the same as the other light colors on the other tree I originally purchased but there are only orange, blue, red, gree and yellow. There are no purple or pink lights. And the majority seem to be green and orange.This tree is very easy to put together. Its a one person job, no help needed. Very realistic looking and nice for a smaller spaceIt was far less full than I has hoped and expected, however the multiple light options were quite enjoyable. I would have preferred a 6 ft slightly fuller tree to fit my small space but there not too many other options.
