The tree was received undamaged except for two glass broken lights and two that were not lit.  Included in the package are replacement bulbs and it was it easy enough to replace them.  As others have noted, it does require a bit of time to move all the branches in place, but once done, it looks good.  It is not as full as the picture shows, but very acceptable to me.  Once it is decorated, I am sure it will look even better.  I looked around before purchasing this tree and I am happy with it.  Hope this helps!
