This is a great invention. I use a lighted star tree topper that always falls off because it is heavy and the artificial tree top leans. I had improvised by tying a pen to the to of the tree with a wire and putting the ornament on the pen. This looks much better and it works. One caveat....the instructions are very poor, definitely not user friendly (reason for 4 instead of 5 stars-would like 4.5 if that was an option). Not that hard to figure out after a few tries though. Highly recommend if you have trouble with your topper leaning over or falling off.
