Finally broke down and tried one of these, as I've been seeing them in furniture stores and garden centers around town.

At $40, they're not cheap so I was disappointed when I unboxed mine and watched it flicker once before refusing to work again. Upon closer visual inspection, it seems this product is very cheaply made. Some of the base plate screws weren't even in all the way, and the battery contacts were at odd angles (this is the first thing you should check if you can't get the lights to work, as most bent springs can be nudged back into place with a finger or pried upward with a screwdriver).

Anyhow, after removing the base plate and peeling back the black electrical tape around the wiring and timer board I found that one of the leads had become unsoldered at one contact point, mostly due to lack of solder. I managed to clip, strip, and resolder the lead wire and resistor and the product worked perfectly after that.

So if you're not the magnifier and soldering iron kind of person, you might want to hold on to your receipt and/or try these at the store before buying.

I bought this item for my sister, who frequents outdoor concerts. We always sit out on the lawn with small table, lawn chairs, a little wine, a little cheese. The tree is just enough light when the sun goes down and looks so much better than flashlights or lanters. Great additional to our summer concerts.

This product was just what I wanted. However, I rarely use it and the lights are already going out. 5 lights are out right now. It hasn't been moved. It has only been turned on and off. It is a very poor product. I am very disappointed!

Love this tree, great for places you want some light but have no outlet. We put this in our RV.

This is exactly what the description states. It is very bright and the batteries last about a month, very nice when lit and the timer function is great.
