I put the little Christmas tree in my coffee nook area on a side table.  I do like that it is battery operated, but to keep the lights "bright", you will have to continue putting in new batteries, as the lights dim really to a very low dim after several days of use.  (It does also shut off automatically after a while of being on, so that is a plus, I guess.)  Be aware the glitter will be all over your table or wherever you place it if you barely touch the branches. So, it is definitely not kid friendly.   Mine came with a few crushed pine cones on it, so packaging it for shipment could of been better.  Lastly, the tree could really use twice the lights on it, as well, after seeing it lit.  It does look festive, so I kept it.
