MY SHORT ANSWER IS ,YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! I ACTUALLY HAD 2 METAL STEMS NOT EVEN COVERED, IT'S TALL BUT NOT FULL AT ALL. REALLY LEANS TOWARDS CHEESY.  I'M  NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT AT ALL, BUT IT WILL HAVE TO DO. IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT FULLNESS, THEN THIS IS YOUR TREE. TALL AND SUPER EASY TO ASSEMBLE ONCE YOU LAY THEM OUT ON THE FLOOR(BRANCHES ARE NOT MARKED)
