This tree is amazing! Highly recommended. Comes in a large box in 4 separate pieces; metal rubber foot base and 3 pre-lit tree sections. The tree sections stack on top of each other with the electrical connections for each tree section built into the center spine (no cords to find and connected inside the tree). Tree branches need minimal fluff when the hinged branches fall into position. Foot pedal controls the different colored LED lights. Even comes pre wired at each section for additional lights and at the top for a tree topper. Money well spent!
