I bought this fiber optic spruce artificial Christmas spruce tree to replace an older fiber optic tree. It was hard to find a 5 foot fiber optic tree anywhere on the internet at this sale price. The tree arrived packaged snugly in a box. It is a one piece easy to setup tree. Just set it in the gold base. Very pleased that it is sturdy. There is also a switch on the base to turn it on and off so you do not have to search for a plug to turn it on and off. The colors are not extremely bright, but very pretty colors. I found the changing of the colors very relaxing and the subdued lighting provides ambiance to a room. Very happy with this purchase. Also available in other sizes.
