I'm in love with my fiberoptic tree.  There were two problems......one being the instructions.  The instructions were horrible especially when you have a 60+ year old woman putting it together.  I threw out the instructions and figured it out myself.  The other issue is, it is not 6 ft tall. I would say it is 5 ft. 5 inches. from base to star.  I'm 5 ft 3 inches, and it is only 2 inches above my head.  Other than that, I love how it looks lit up.
