This tree is so realistic looking and has a very spectacular lighting system and plenty of color and operational choices with just the push of a button. The needle tips look so lifelike and feel just like a fresh pine tree. We put it up when it  arrived on January 5 to make sure it was acceptable and in working order. Truly the best value I’ve received in a long time. I’m looking so forward to enjoying it next Christmas. Definitely gets 5 stars.
