MMMMM, the description sounded like it was one of the Trees without cords that just snaps together and light up (obvi there would be one cord at the bottom to plug into the wall but not the middle) but it is not. Also, I really expected it to be fuller.  But realism A++ i love the branches but if we are going to be picky, the ratio of pvc needles to fancy is not great. They absoulutly need about 25% less PVC and more of the nice kind(can't remember what it is called) OR be about 100 less than it was.
