This tree is a great buy, with a few caveats (manufacturer issues, no fault of Lightbulbs.com). I wanted an unlit one but couldn't get that, so I'll be taking the lights off and using my own next year. The lights are strung haphazardly and there are far too many -- it's blindingly bright. The lights aren't aqua when lit, just white. The interior branches and body are a dark green, so I may try covering those with aqua washi tape. The main cords for the lights on the bottom 2/3 of the tree are dark green as well; the main cords on the top are aqua (as are the actual light strings) so I don't understand why the manufacturer used dark cords otherwise. The stand is uneven and not great quality (and again, not aqua). However, I still recommend this tree because it can look just like the photo (even better) when you work to arrange the branches. It's also lightweight enough that I can manage setup by myself. This is a slim, not a pencil tree, and the shape is perfect if you have limited room but still want a tree that's not woefully skinny. If not for the lights, I'd give this 5 stars, but I don't regret the purchase and am glad I finally found an actual aqua (not turquoise or greenish blue) Christmas tree.
