This a nice tree for the price. I set it up in between commercials while watching tv. The lights are nice and bright. Please note that the plugs ends for the lights have mini fuses in them. So if you ever plug it in and nothing lights up, start there. Two days after plugging mine in this happened, replaced the fuse and it’s been for ever since. And the extra fuses and bulbs  are included. I have no problem recommending this tree.
