Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: I thought this may be useful information for anyone unsure about this item - I just put my tree up for the third year and it looks like new. The lights came on, as soon as the cord was plugged into the outlet. It really does add holiday cheer with minimal decorating effort! I've always wanted a bit of the holidays in my office/bedroom, so when I saw this little tree, I impulsively placed an order. I'm very glad I did - it was easy to set up and decorate. Within 25-30 min., all was completed. A couple of things to mention - you may need an extension cord, as the one attached is pretty short (approx 36") and when removing the tree from the box, make sure you take it out by it's base end, so the branches remain folded properly. Then, shape and fluff, add some small ornaments and it's ready for display. Regarding ornaments, I purchased an inexpensive set with 24 (40 mm) which turned out to be a good number and size. This tree is nicer than I expected - very full and symmetrical. The weighted base is draped in burgundy fabric and tied with gold cord, as seen in the product photo. I'm very happy with my choice and would recommend this item for gifting or providing additional holiday sparkle... UPDATE - 12/3/18 - Some other reviews noted problems with the lights. After enjoying this little tree every evening since it arrived, there have been no issues. Also, for my needs, the number/amount of pre-strung lights seems perfectly adequate. As an FYI, the base is weighted nicely to provide good stability, should that be of concern. Happy Holidays to all!
