I attached the tree's plugs to make sure the lights worked, and the top's lights didn't work.  I noticed a bulb missing so put one in (extras provided) and it worked.  I thought the description said the lights would work even if a light were out, so I'm hoping this is a fluke because it would be hard to find that one missing light.  I like the look/quality of the branches.  Looking forward to setting this up next Christmas!  I was also happy at how compact and easy the tree was to move, and the box is a great size to store in the basement.
