First off, let me say this teal glitter star tree topper is absolutely stunning in person! The moment I unboxed it, the shimmer caught my eye - way more vibrant than expected. It's become the crowning jewel of my 6.5ft artificial tree.

The lightweight design is a major win. Unlike heavier toppers that make my tree tip like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, this stays perfectly balanced. No last-minute Christmas tree disasters here!

Now about that color debate - mine arrived as described (a gorgeous teal with silver glitter), but I've heard some received navy versions. Maybe there's color variations in production? Pro tip: check recent reviews for color accuracy before ordering if you're particular.

At 8 inches, it's perfect for smaller trees (4-6ft) but might get visually lost on taller ones. I solved this by adding some matching teal ornaments nearby to create a cohesive look up top.

The glitter stays put surprisingly well - no messy shedding all over my presents! After three weeks up, it still looks brand new. The wired points make shaping easy to get that perfect star silhouette.

Only con? The center opening could be slightly wider for thicker tree tops. I had to gently widen mine with pliers (carefully!) to get a snug fit without bending the wires.

Final verdict? For under $20, this delivers serious holiday glam without breaking the bank or your tree! It's become my new go-to gift for newlywed friends starting their Christmas decor collections.
