NOMA Pre-Lit Glittered Tip Christmas Tree, 7-ft

Got this on sale today at my local store, less than 2 weeks before Christmas. Construction feels sturdy and stands straight up with some help. The three main pieces are not bolted together, only bolted to the stand. Glittered tips reflect the mini lights well, but be prepared for the glitter to go everywhere (at least during construction). Branches are soft and look reasonably realistic from a few feet away. Branches bend easily and stay where you put them. Thickness of the branches is good, it doesn't require a lot of ornaments and tin foil garlands. Instructions for assembly are pretty minimal and there are no pictures, but it's not difficult. The height is perfect for the living room in my old 1960s Calgary house. Two cautions: 1. Two extra bulbs and a flasher bulb are included, not eight spare bulbs as stated on packaging, however all the bulbs appear to be working and I haven't needed any spares yet. 2. The top portion of the tree (about 1/3 the height) is not lit, it contains no light bulbs, so you may want to add another small string of lights to the top (there is a convenient plug for this near the top). All told it is a decent tree and should last a few years. I suggest waiting for it to be on sale for under $200 (and also keep in mind the sales in stores are different than those online, this was advertised at full price in the online store).
