I wanted a small tree, and this tree is perfect! It’s easy to set up and looks lovely on a small round table beside my couch! The lights can be displayed in a variety of ways! I like the clear blinking option, and my husband likes the color options. We’ve learned to compromise so whoever gets to the tree first gets to choose the daily the display! There are a few personal choice downfalls. For one, I’m not a fan of purple lights on the tree. But I could see where one might like the purple-dominant option, especially if the tree was displayed at Halloween time. The other downfall is there is no traditional plug-in for my angel topper. I used an extension cord up the center of the tree to plug in the angel. There is a unique plug but it would only work with the manufacturers topper.
