This tree is absolutely gorgeous! Required very minimal fluffing out of box. Literally only moved a couple of branches. It’s perfectly shaped. Twinkle setting is so pretty. The colored light setting is a bit not traditional. More blues and purples. Now my only downfall is the “warm white” they describe is not warm. It’s much more cool white and this thing is BRIGHT. So if you’re looking for the warm yellowish glow of a traditional tree this isn’t for you. Not sure how that hasn’t been mentioned.

The 9 settings are mostly garbage. No color twinkle option. Only the white lights. The flip/fade setting are basically just the lights all turning off and on at the same time. I wanted Christmas tree, not a cross-walk signal or SOS beacon. Basically, it is a flashing tree with only 1 twinkle setting. Going to have to string colored twinkle lights around it that have decent settings. If this tree was $200 cheaper, I’d rate it better. But since it’s nearly $400 out the door, it gets an iffy 3.

The tree was perfect until adding the top part. It wouldn’t drop into place easily like the bottom and middle sections, which are put into place first. I got the 7.5 foot tree and it was difficult to reach the top. I recommend using a ladder. There is a section of lights not working and the remote doesn’t work either. The tree is stuck in demo mode so it continuously changes through all 11 clear and color modes. Annoying. I will try using a ladder to adjust the top section and see if that works. Otherwise I will need to return it.

This tree did not disappoint. It was very easy to assemble in a very short time. Hardly any fluffing. The lights have several options as to color, twinkle, steady or fade. The remote is very handy. There are no plugs to assemble in the layers, once it’s in place you simply plug the tree in! I had a great artificial tree that I loved for many years, but this one I’m even more in love with! It looks so realistic in the faux needle work! The height and slim statue is perfect!
