Mixed Feelings... like it, but I don't...

I LOVED the height and that there were already lights and that it was narrow. It fit great in my small living room, but fluffing it was a huge struggle because the built-in lights were on green wires that seemed to be all tangled in the branches. It comes apart in 3 big pieces, which is way better than having to remove every branch. We're just keeping it set up in our storage room in the off-season. Reviews and photos made it appear much fuller than it actually ended up being. Maybe next year I'll wrap some pine garland or picks through it or something... Also the light options are fun - white OR color OR both, etc... then several transition/flicker options (had to hide that from the toddler). Putting a vintage looking star on the top made of lightweight metal stuff was a struggle because the top little pine branch was flimsy and you basically have to put it onto the main pipe that runs up the center... which was larger than the opening for my star (bummer) - I forced it on, but it was generally crooked). So all in all I have mixed feelings, but I'm gonna make it work cuz of the height and how narrow and lovely the lights are when on (VERY BRIGHT!)
