Putting together is fairly simple, looks great!  Very sparkly because it has all the glitter like so many decorations to give it a pop in the day and night.  Picture is right after it was assembled, it’s  going outdoors.  The star could be brighter but they put only 4 bulbs inside, the bottom of tree could use a few more bulbs because there are a few spots empty of light.  It was on sale but I would not pay 200.00 or anywhere near that, at that price it’s not worth it for a smaller tree. I have a yard full of decorations and this is nice, wish the price was better because I’d like 3 more. It’s hard to find green trees so this is why I purchased it.  5 stars because it is pretty and it was in sale and not hard to assemble for a 57 yr o,d women.
