The tree was perfect for us as we were downsizing.  One week after having it up the middle lights went out..this was only a two piece tree so the top was lite and also the bottom.  I just added lights to the middle for the time being.  I did register the warranty but tried several times to contact the company and had no luck.  I guess I will have to continue to add lights.  The tree is very nice and a perfect size but the lighting was the issue.
