Best Choice Products 6ft Pre-Lit Fiber Optic Artificial Pine Christmas Tree, Holiday Décor Centerpiece w/ 230 Multicolored LED Lights, 8 Sequences, Foldable Stand

Extra cheesy is what I expected when I saw the price and read a few of the reviews were from people who recived them specifically to provide a review. I like those reviews but in the back of my mind I always wonder if the review would be the same if they had paid for the product. Anyway the short version is that once set up, this tree is impressive with a couple of quirks.The BoxI had an artificial 7.5 tree from Costco for years. It was HUGE, even when packed and super heavy. We bought a special rolling cart/bag for it. If I had to guess, these boxes are so smal by comparison I could fit 4 to 6 of these trees in that bag now. Now the compact packing size is because the "needles" look exactly as pictured. They fold nice and flat and the whold thing isnt too heavy to move on your own.Inside the box: There's two parts to the tree itself, a base with two thumb screws, two LED lights for the fiber optics and the power plug. There is a switch on the power cable and it plugs into a green box on the tree (also with a button).Set up: Setup was really easy. It took about 10 minutes although I probably would spend more time spreading out the branches. The hardest part to figure out was that the lights plug into the round things on the tree.Light Show: Now seriously, the reviews said it was bright, but holy cow! I think it was a team of six people that weren't exactly clear what the tree was supposed to do. There are 6 modes (or more.) As others have mentioned, some modes are better for clubbing while others would be better left on emergency vehicles. Everyone in my house pretty much hates those modes but they are kinda cool for a minute provided strobing lights are ok with you. We learned there are 2 control switches for the lights. We haven't mastered them but one is for the lower fiber optic lights and the other is for the LEDs and upper fiber optic lights. Although I have yet to find a steady mode (always on) the slow fade in and out is very nice. At one point we disconnected the power to the LED lights leaving only the fiber optic ones on, that was an even softer effect. It does look beautiful when lit and even though I despise twinkle lights, I like the effect.Can it hold ornaments? Probably most regular/light ornaments will be fine. Some areas can probably hold a little more weight but that ashtray or handprint the kids made in pottery class might have to find a new home.Downsides:Usually I call it "the bad". For now I'll leave the stars on and let you know some things you may expect. Some lighting modes are harsh. The two button controls are weird and don't help if the lighting between the top and bottom of the tree get on different timing. The LEDs are as bright or brighter than a flashlight.Upsides:Inexpensive. Compact when it needs to be and full size when it is time. It has a very nice glowing mode and it looks beautiful when it is on.Conclusion:I'd buy this tree again despite the downsides and urge the manufacturer to use a single switch and light controller for the modes. I also hope I can find a "solid color" mode but for $99 shipped, this is a heck of a deal.

Love the size & the light show! The fiber optics on the limbs are cool!! I think the value is great! Easy to set up!

Super easy to set up! The hight of the tree is the perfect hight to decorate! Not to tall and not to small. The tree when first getting set up and plugged in is SUPER BRIGHT! Use caution to your eyes 👀 🙈 there is a couple of buttons at the bottom of the tree to adjust the brightness. 🔆 🔅🔅🔅 once you adjust the brightness to your liking. It’s a fun tree not like other trees. It’s has different twinkling options. 🎄 the Kids seem to love it! Mom and Dad however wish we could just get the optic fiber lights to stop flashing. You can adjust the lights to go solid however.

Some of the reviews almost scared me off from even taking this tree out of the box. I'm glad I did, though. The tree was very easy for this 76-year-old to put up by herself. The only difficult part was finding that there are 4 wires in all to be connected. 4-pronged one go into 4-pronged ones and 5-pronged ones go into 5-pronged ones. Being not great with some technologies, I kept trying to plug in a 4-prong into a 5-prong. Then, fortunately I discovered that there were 4 different wires. Two were kind of buried in the branches of the bottom section. I was glad I discovered this on my own rather than asking my daughter for help and seeing the amused smirk on her face when she found the other wires.This tree can be placed just about anywhere. Before I put it up, I moved furniture around because I thought that it would be too crowded with the room as it was. I thought I was going to have to remove pictures on the walls but waited until it was up and realized that this tree has a very low profile, so pictures could stay where they were.Now that the tree is assembled and placed in a corner of the room, I look around and see all the other possible locations in my living room that I could have placed it. Maybe I'll move it around or at least change its location next year.I was going to buy a skirt for around the bottom but instead found an old lace tablecloth and folded it around the stand and floor, so it looks like snow. Eventually I'll put presents under it, and it will look very festive.Don't let the reviews of the crazy, bright flashing lights scare you into sending it back before you actually put it up. You will find a setting you will like. Just keep pressing the buttons that are not as hard to get to as described by some. The tree sits up high enough, so you can easily sit on the ground and play with the buttons until you find a setting that you like.I do have one regret, however. My room has high ceilings so I wish I would have gotten the 7-foot tree instead of the 6-foot tree. I hope this review helps you make the decision to purchase this tree.

PROS. Received delivery of the tree only a few days after ordering it. Great delivery. Packaging was excellent and very strong. No way for the tree to get damaged during shipping. Although I did not receive any instructions, assembly was very easy and logical. Exactly as advertised and shown.CONS. The LED lights on the tree are very bright. I need to put on the dimmest setting. Unfortunately, the controls do not remember the previous settings, so you need to crawl under the tree where the Control Box is mounted and reset everything to your desired settings. When you first turn on the tree the lights are at the brightest setting and the fiber optic and flashing program is very wild and bright. It is almost as if you had an emergency vehicle in your house. I can't believe this will be anyone's preferred setting. It would be nice if the initial setting was "DIM LEDs" and "Simple Fiber Optic Flashing". The tree comes with blue, red, green, and white LEDS. The white LEDs are very bright and are hard on the eyes, even at the dimmest setting. I used a YELLOW Oil Based SHARPEE (found in artist supply stores) and painted all of the white lights. Much happier with the final looks.

Muy bonito y de buena calidad con un buen número de luces y fácil de armar
