@giddy up I purchased the 7' tree (clear lights) during Xmas in July, last year. I didn't even open the box until time to set it up, enjoying the anticipation, but also fearful that there might be last minute problems. You never read about prelit trees, that someone isn't reporting lighting issues.
Luckily, I was delighted with this tree. It was a very easy set-up. With a little fluffing, it came to life. There is some flocking and glitter that will fall with the initial staging, but it was worth bringing out the vacuum for me. It makes for such a pretty glistening effect with the lights on. You honestly don't need decorations, or very few, to have a lovely tree.
I can't wait to bring it back out this year. Hope you enjoy yours, as well.
