All in all this is a very nice tree. Its very bright so itll light up a room nicely. The only cons of it are that the way they designed where the cord comes out was pretty stupid. It comes out in the middle of the tree trunk so it is very visible hanging down from it. I remedied it by drilling a hole in the base of the tree trunk as well as the stand so I could feed the wire through the trunk and out the bottom. Now it looks much better but there is still about 2 inches of wire visible in the middle of the trunk though it is flush with it so its not as noticable.
