It was fine, but for $100 I would have thought it would be a little fuller. It is also much smaller (5' advertised); in other reviews it said expect 5' from floor to top of tree - it is even less than this, perhaps 4-1/2 feet high, with the actual lowest branch to the top perhaps being 39-40 inches. Lights are fine, both fiber and strand. There are 2 strands, one covers the bottom half of the tree, the other the top half. There are also 2 fibers - one covers the left side and the other the right side of the tree. Some reviews said that the strands were too bright. They are much brighter than the fiber, but not out of place. They are after all point sources of light where the fibers are spread out throughout the tree. If the price had been 2/3 (around $70) or if it was somewhat fuller for the current price of $99, this would be a 4 star rating. It could never be higher than that.
