Too expensive for a product that I expected to be of better quality. You are paying for the 9 light programs, not the tree itself. If I had read more about this tree I would not have purchased it. Only need one light colour scheme. For $250 I expected a better quality tree. Can’t be bothered to return it, and hope the light program doesn’t break because that’s what I am expecting  with this flimsy product. The branch gaps after fully assembled is disappointing , the limited lighting and quality of lights is very disappointing. One would have to put on extra strings to make it sparkle. Don’t waste your time. You can definitely find a better tree for $250, and it was on sale no less!
