Member's Mark 8' Pre-Lit Iridescent Color-Changing Spiral Tree

I love how the tree looks when it’s finished and up. It is tall though so putting it together the right way helps. At first I was confused how to put it together because I couldn’t find an instruction manual even though it said there would be one. So I started putting it together the best I could. I started with the top piece since I knew it would be tall. I like that the star is made out of a reflective plastic. It wasn’t heavy but I did worry about how to secure it because there wasn’t a hole to put a screw through. I ended up just screwing in one of the wing nuts to make it tight against the poll. Adding the next few layers went fine. It took me a min to figure out which side the tabs went on but the bigger hole goes to on outside. All the wing nuts went in great until 2 at the bottom. They wouldn’t go in very far when using just my fingers. It hurt too much, so I ended up getting some pliers to help me get them in all the way. I liked the lighting connections. They have arrows to show you where to line up the plugs and then a part that screws down over the top of that. I did realize when I got to the bottom that I was missing some wing nuts so I went back to the box and found them on the bottom. They had come out of the bag they were in. At that point I realized that the sides of the box were doubled up. I finally found the instructions after pulling the extra sides away. I had mostly done things right. Although I still have no idea what the zip ties are for. I’m assuming they are to rescue the tinsel onto the frame. I love how the tree looks in both light and dark. When it’s dark you can really see all the colors but in the light it is still very colorful because of the material they use. All put together it is still easy for me to move too which I also like. It all collapses back down and stacks inside of itself so that is very helpful for storage.
