The tree is okay, however purchasing it from Wayfair was a big mistake. I apparently paid $40.00 more than the "retail" price. When I purchased it 10 days ago the great sale price was $459.99. Now today the sale price is $205.00 with the regular price $418. When I call customer service I was told they can do nothing about the price change.  It would be a nightmare to get this 9' tree back in the box. So, this will be my final purchase from Wayfair!
