I love this tree so much!!! I didn’t expect it to be as full as it was for a skinny tree. I purchased 800 lights and my tree is lit up beautifully! I had a 5 foot in the past and wow does the 9 foot make a huge difference. It’s greag for our smaller space and surrounded by presents it looks glam. I have white lights all over and they have different settings. The tinsel shines very well. Whenever someone is at the door then compliment the tree. I also have larger bulbs on the tree with smaller with ribbon to make the tree look a bit fuller. Love it!!!!
