Great tree! We didn’t scrutinize the needle quality or light count or anything like that. We just wanted something fun for our kiddo’s room. We got this one because of the different color-changing light options and it does not disappoint there. It’s fun!! The tree is a lot bigger than we planned on, but that’s our fault and it’s more than we wanted to spend, but our fault again. Overall, we’re really happy we got this tree!
