I like that it has it's own stand. I like that the 3 parts fit together and there is no wobble of the tree.  Spreading out all the branches took me a while, well over 1-1/2 hrs.  I like the different lighting options especially the fade into different colors.  Makes decorating the tree easy as far as colors are concerned.  What I didn't care for is that it's too perfect a shape.  You're immediately able to tell it's a fake tree because of it's shape.  The size is perfect for a corner; that's why I ordered it.
