I love the shape and size of this tree, which I got to replace my traditional Christmas trees, after they were taken down. It's something that I could enjoy all year round. However, I do think a number of improvements could be made to it. I'm not sure I'd purchase it again if these improvements weren't made. It's way too bright! I can read from it. I added a dimmer attachment but it doesn't dim it all that much. I wish there was one that was built in to it as well as an on/off switch. I also don't enjoy the twinkling feature which is too frantic for me. I wish it was slower or even optional. I've placed the base in a low succulent-type planter. Though it would be terrific if this tree came potted in an urn. I bought a small Christmas tree , from WayFair, that was in an urn and love that feature. I hope this tree lasts for a long time since it's not inexpensive enough to replace it very often.. Tam. Island Lake, IL. Tue Jan 28 2025
