Ordered this tree on sale for next Christmas, but we did unpack it, stand it up, and checked all the lights and features.  the only things we did not do was “fluff” it out as we are not using it until the holidays.  From the looks of it, it will be gorgeous once set up properly.  I will review again during the holidays.  I love the lights being able to change from colored to while only with the foot pedal.
