This tree is a great value!  It has 9 different light settings including white and colored, blinking, not blinking, etc.  It was easy to put together and I really like the slender look of this tree.  We have never had one and am so glad we made the switch.  I can still fit the majority of my decorations vs the same height tree I had before, but it was a little wider.  The stand that comes with the tree is perfect too.  I look forward to many years of enjoyment with it.
