Good looking tree. Very full. However I was a little disappointed that the lights didn't go all the way into the tree center but rather about 6-8" from the edge. The extra lights give more demension. So in my opionion more lights would also be better. In addition, for this price of tree I expected a remote control rather than just a foot control. So we had to buy a universal remoted and outlet plug so that it would be easier to turn on and off. With the foot control, once you have gifts under the tree the remote gets lost. Also with the universal remote we have to still reset the light sequence each time we turn it on so I'm not sure we are gaining anything with the universal remote. Other than that, it's a good looking tree and very natural looking.
