The tree is nice looking, I have to admit. It's the way it's strung with lights that's a disappointment and the instructions. Disclaimer: I'm married to a master electrician. Having said that.... the lights are jerry-rigged with electrical tape and extension cords. The instructions make NO SENSE and the parts are erroneously marked. For example, I had two section B's. So you had me plugging section A into which section B? If you didn't want certain parts unplugged, then mark your parts correctly. Whats with the electrical tape anyway??? Besides that, assembly isn't where prepping the tree ends. You have to juuushhge each and every branch to fill out the tree. There are probably 200 - 3 part branches, to which you have to spread and straighten every. single. one!! One hour project instantly turned into a 5 hour project.
