After getting rid of an expensive prelit tree, I opted for this budget friendly one from BCP. I decided to go with red lights, thinking it would be pretty. Well, it's very red! Clear lights would be best. The tree was fuller than I expected. Only a few white strands came off during fluffing. The bottom is full, but unfortunately the top leaves are cut at least 3 inches too short, and the tree looks funny. In addition, the bottom hinges show. Overall, it's a cute tree. I would buy from BCP again. #BCPHolidays.
