Pretty little tree, really does look real, tree stand needs a design review.
Given some of the reviews I was unsure how real these branches would look. Immediately after opening the box I could tell I had worried for nothing. The branches are beautiful. Yes, the branches closer in to the trunk are constructed differently, but you dont really notice it.
Setting up and shaping the tree was very easy and the 4.5 ft size is perfect, especially when put on a 12 high crate or table. The free is small and lightweight and will be easy to store and tote around.
All the lights work and the foot switch is easy to operate, running through all ten functions: steady warm white, twinkle warm white, steady multicolor, twinkle multicolor, steady pastel, fading warm white to multicolor, random fading, fading warm white, fading multicolor, flashing warm white to multicolor.
Preventing the 5th star in my rating: the light functions do not include solid colors: green blue, red, purple, or being able to transition thru solid colors: green fading to blue, fading to red...etc. I was expecting this but probably just got mixed up with the several trees I looked at before purchasing.
Also - while the stand is extremely easy to assemble, the design - a single eye bolt to hold the tree in place - means youve got to REALLY tighten it to prevent the tree from leaning. (REALLY husband with some big pliers). I may need his help again when it comes time to loosen this eye bolt. A better design might have been to have four eye bolts.
Finally, no fuses were included in the packaging, but in their place were two black plug-like plastic pieces (no references to them in the instruction sheet). I have sent feedback to the seller to see if they can send us the fuses.
All in all I really LOVE this tree and hope to have it for several years. It will be nice not to wrestle our old 6.5 footer in and out of the house any longer!
