Review on 🎄 National Tree Company Pre-lit 3 ft Mini Christmas Tree with White LED Lights and Burlap Base by Rhonda Ackerman

I wanted to put a small Christmas tree instead of a big one this year. Reaching the age when you grow up is too exhausting. This is the ideal size at 3 feet. About 6 inches is the base in those 3 feet. I read the reviews and when I took it out of the box I had a drawing sheet on the floor and we shook it and shook it to make sure any dropped stuff landed on the sheet. The flocking is a bit uneven but I can easily roll back the patches. Today I decorated it with 1 inch ornaments. October 19th. I've ordered everything within the last 30 days so I wanted to set it up and be sure I could return anything I need. Nothing had to be returned! I bought a 4" Top Star with a spiral base. I folded the top branch of the tree in half and the spiral base layed nicely on top and held up. I found a 24" skirt that closes with velcro and fits perfectly Base of the burlap tree fits.I haven't put the batteries in the box yet because it's not time to light them.You can turn the tree on and off manually or turn it on at night and leave it on and it will turn on after 6 hours automatically off. If there are no problems with the battery or wiring, I am very happy with this product. EDIT: I have not yet turned on the light. I opened the battery compartment and closed it a few times to check the size, I needed. When I came back to put the batteries in and opened it the third time, one of the latches was completely broken. I put the batteries in and the box with the only available latch and it still works. However, I have concerns about having to open and close it too often. I think I'll keep a rubber band handy to close the box tightly for the battery connection to work. Too bad because I wanted to give five stars. Instead three stars. The bar should not break on the first day! ADDITIONAL EDITING: Over a month later and it has to be said the lights aren't bright enough and/or not enough lights. You can barely see the tree lanterns burning throughout the room let alone outside the window. I won't give it less than 3 stars but I'm very disappointed with the dim lighting. It could be because the batteries are draining too quickly with brighter/more lights, who knows? But they need to improve it in future versions.
