Nice size, good spacing on the lights. It floofs up nicely. Did wear gloves and long sleeves to work with it, because whatever artificial greenery is treated with makes my skin break out. 
I put the 3 D batteries in on the afternoon of Black Friday. By Wednesday evening, the lights were starting to dim down. Cycling through the various settings still worked, but all went dim within a minute, then flickered and went out. 
Not sure if it is a short (dont think so), or just eats batteries super quickly. Will put new batteries in on the 24th. The six hour on, eighteen off is nice, but I was hoping to get a couple weeks of battery life versus a few days.
