I love this tree! I read a lot of the reviews before ordering it and the biggest complaint was the tree was not as full as pictured. I have to disagree 100%. It took about 5 hours to properly shape but it is so full, I can't see through to the other side of the tree! The 900 lights is just perfect because to the brightness of the lights. I love the 9 functions, especially the fade from white to multi color! I would and have recommended this tree to all my neighbors who fell in love with it when they saw it!
