I love this tree. It takes some fluffing but there are a lot of lights and they’re so pretty. I Iike the light options. I’m not one for blinking lights but there’s one setting that slowly fades and it’s just so pretty. This tree was perfect for my condo. I’ve always had a real tree but it got to be too much. I hope the lights stay working for many years *fingers crossed*. I got the 6.5 ft tree and it’s great. No remote, but the foot button works great. Downside was that my Angel tree topper doesn’t stay up so I’ll need to find something else.
