These lighted tree branches don’t look like tree branches at all unless trees come zebra stripped!  The size and illumination of the branches are beautiful, however I thought they would look like real birch wood branches! Instead, the branches are black  white zebra stripped. At 1st I thought it was a protective coating for shipping however upon closer inspection, the zebra tape is the design. I guess if you want a white look for Christmas or an animal themed design these would be great! But, I wanted a natural woodsy kind of look and these won’t go at all!!
