Overall this is a solid tree if you are willing to put in some time and effort.  This is definitely a “touch every branch” tree to get it shaped nicely and lit evenly.  The lights were strung comically bad on the tree I received.  Nothing that can’t be fixed but it took me a solid couple hours to get it looking like the pictures. I also agree with some of the other reviews that the lights are a bit on the dull side.
