I'm very pleased with this tree, which I got for my elderly mom, replacing an older model artificial tree. The lights are fun with the various options for color and pattern, and the ease of connecting the 3 sections of the tree made it so much nicer to assemble. The foot-operated switch is great for her to use, allowing her to turn the lights on and off without having to bend down or reach behind furniture to access the plug. I  love the added touch of enclosed gloves to wear when "fluffing" the branches - the "needles" can be hard on your hands after awhile. This is the 6'5" tree, a great fit for an average-sized room. It did require several hours to fully "fluff" the branches. One never knows what the product will ACTUALLY look like when ordering it online, but I can honestly say I'm beyond satisfied with this tree purchase!
