I would not purchase this tree if I were you. I purchased this on November 17th at my local Costco, and put it up, spent 4 days decorating it because it is very tall. It looks wonderful except that just yesterday, the top 2/3 of the tree began blinking for no reason. I spent 2 hours yesterday disconnecting and reconnecting connectors and it seemed to fix it. Then last night the blinking started again. I worked on it for several hours and then again this morning and today, trying to determine if this was due to a light bulb being broken or possibly requiring replacement. It seemed that nothing worked to stop the incessant blinking. I called customer support, it is a known issue that the control box is faulty and it will take at least 10 business days to get a replacement, if that indeed is truly the issue. We may not have a lit tree for Christmas which infuriates me since this was a very expensive tree and for all the effort put in to purchase it, decorate it and troubleshoot an already issue, I'm ready to pack it up and send it back which is what I'm planning to do. I called Costco to let them know about this. It's a faulty product. It's beautiful but it doesn't work and I feel it should with the hefty price tag.
