This tree is the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen.  The tree is extremely sparse, lights are junky looking as if somebody took a string of lights from the dollar store and stapled them onto the tree.  Lights strung on the tree in such a bizarre way that it is almost impossible to connect any of the cords to even get the tree to light up.  Huge holes with no branches in the middle of the tree.  This tree cost about twice as much as any artificial tree purchase I have made and is the worst quality.  Don't know how hard it is going to be to return this, but this will be my last artificial tree purchase online.
