This was the FIRST artificial tree that I have purchased. The price was very reasonable and it was immediately available. The shape is wonderful. However, there aren't any features to the lights. They are NOT LED - there was conflicting information posted in the comments. The lights are rather bright. It would be nice if they were able to be dimmed or twinkle or something. I would have spent the money on a more expensive tree with LED lighting IF there had been any available in stock. However, I am pleased with this under the circumstances. I received it in 3 days. Shaping wasn't that difficult, but it did take me as much time or longer than if I had strung lights on a real tree. It is much wider at the base than I expected, but what I would have chosen for a real tree. If you're looking for a realistic, simply stated Christmas tree, this is the one for you. I would have given 5 stars if the lights had more options.
