I'm quite disappointed in the tree.  Well, not the tree itself but the lighting.  The lights haven't been placed evenly.  There are branches that have some and some that don't.  It looks terrible.  The tree, just the tree, is what we were hoping for.  It's the right size and it is slim as it was advertised.  I'm giving it 3 stars..........if you were talking to my husband he wouldn't rate it at all.
