This star is beautiful but a little heavy for many trees I believe.  Unless you have a sturdy tree tip, it's likely to pull over the top, which it did on both of our trees.  I know it sounds like I'm rating the tree, but I thought its weight was worth the consideration when reviewing this tree top.  The cord could have been longer so one could hide the cord within the tree and still make it to a receptacle versus using an extension cord.
