This is a lovely tree.Very full bodied with lots of lights.The reason for only 4 stars is assembly.It took me a long time to bring down the bottom section.It doesn’t tell you to cut what looks like a branch to release them.Also as for the lights you have four sockets that have to plug into one another and in a certain order where again it doesn’t tell you the full order.But after all that it did come out beautiful.One more thing the stand is metal and very sturdy.A good buy.
