The tree is very pretty.  I chose the 6.5' tree.  I should have paid more attention.  The 7.5' tree had multi-color lights, but the 6/5' has all white lights.  There are 3 sections and they have to be plugged together (I thought they'd light up when the sections were joined).  The flocking does flake off.  Nonetheless, it's very pretty & hopefully it will work out just fine.
