So darn cute.  East to assemble, whole tree lights up with personality.  Love it.  When connecting the three pieces (plus base), the branches are in the upside down position.  At first, it looked wrong, but its not.  As assembly is complete, bend branches up  viola, your fun, perfect tree.  I did buy a 6 large red ball for the top.  Suggest 4 to  6 for fun effect.  Go for it.
