Love this tree because the lights are perfect, just enough.  The size is just right because it is tall enough to make a statement but does not take up too much room.  The pine cones are a nice touch and I might add ornaments, but haven't yet because it is outside.  I live in the north woods and the "crate" base is appropriate.  Easy to assemble and will save the box for storage.  Think the price was fair and the shipping excellent, 2 days.
