Beyond disappointed in the quality of this tree. I bought this tree during the after Christmas sale in January and I just now opened the box for the first time to put up the tree. Come to find out, the tree is missing TWO branches. They aren't even in the box! They are completely missing and look like it was done during production. Also the metal stand has a thick 1in gouge scrapped off. To say this is a $800 tree is crazy for the poor quality. I will never buy for the Christmas tree brand again. This was my first ever Christmas tree purchase and it's just frustrating and heartbreaking at the same time. Happy Holidays.
