I bought the kit in order get a bit of that diy feeling and i am not sorry. There were about two hours spent doing a nice thing and it also looks cool. The only downside is that the script takes about 40% of my zero w's CPU

Easy solder and a nice PCB. Really liked the quality of the outcome. Also a great beginners project for soldering and using GPIO on the RPi. The only thing I've missed is schematics for the layout. I got the christmas spirit over me and started a project giving the ability to controll the tree over a flask based API. Check it out here https://github.com/joms/ledmastree

Not too advanced and enough lights to play with

I purchased the solder it yourself kit, nicely packaged and followed the online guide to assemble. I questioned the instructions concerning polarity of the leds on the two plugin boards but saw the etching of + and - on the boards and the clear marking of the photo. I feel the white led spot was printed on the reverse sides they should have been on but it soldered in just fine. I got the example code to run just fine but wish there was a posting of other sequence examples or a spot where folks could share what they're running. Runs ok on pi zero but better on the pi 3.

Easy to put together and worth saving the extra money to do it yourself

Everything included for a small, easy and nice soldering project, which you can extend with a small programming exercise to make tree blinking nice.
