Item comes delivered in 3 pieces, the basket (which takes a day or two to fully take shape after unpacking), the base (pretty heavy and sturdy) and then the top piece that you attach with the branches. Overall the product is decent. The basket itself seems too small and out of proportion to the rest of the tree - almost as if it will tip over. I also feel like it sort of leans towards one side but that could be because the basket it sits in feels flimsy.
