I ordered AFTER Christmas last year so I just put the tree up for the first time. BIG MISTAKE!! The light wires are very haphazardly thrown on, including looped around multiple branches, AND its a lot of work to make it look fluffed and decent. Its a mess!!! I cant make it look as good as the pic. I would not pay 13 of the supposed price for this tree again. Keep looking and dont waste your money. I wish I had read the reviews more carefully. Unfortunately its too late for me.
