This is a beautiful tree. I put it up all by myself in 5 minutes. It was so easy! I was looking for a tree that had color changing lights. I like white lights and my children like colored lights. This is the best of both worlds! It also has neat functions where the lights flash or slowly fade from white to rainbow colors. This is not my first tree, but my absolute favorite and I'm picky!!! The pine cones add something special as well. It makes it feel real. It also doesn't have a huge space at the bottom which I love.
