Excellent value, pretty tree, with some room for improvement
When you take it out and put it together, you must FLUFF, FLUFF, and FLUFF some more. This is tedious, but the tree looks full and realistic when this is done! I do wish that there were more of the “real feel” branch tips, but I’m certain that would add to the cost of the tree substantially. The ratio of “real feel” tips to flat tips is probably 40/60, with the real feel tips being positioned towards the outsides and top of the tree to be more prominent.
The light features are fantastic and fun. The variety allows me to have the “rainbow lights” on for my young son, then switch over to the white twinkle mode after he goes to bed for my enjoyment. There are 10 different light settings and although I can’t imagine using them all, it is nice to have the option. The slim profile fits well in small spaces. I often see slim trees and the dimensions appear unbalanced, but this tree does not.
Now, my two gripes. One, the stand is subpar and the tree wobbles slightly, even after tightening everything down. A minor annoyance, but one exists nonetheless. Two, the connectors appear to be proprietary to the manufacturer. I’m trying to find a tree topper I can use, but it has to be the same brand in order to use the plug with the tree since they are not your standard plug/outlet. I have not found a tree topper I like from this brand yet, and may have to settle with getting a battery operated one.
