i got the balsam hill silver fir (i think that's what it's called==it's their most expensive). we decided to go ahead and put it up yesterday. we spent nearly 4 hours. and we still do not have it connected properly. i previously bought 2 trees from treeclassics.com and they have 3 connections for the lights. no problem. they set up in a couple of minutes. i am so upset with this balsam hill tree i could scream (actually, we all did==lol)
