I do not understand all the raving positive reviews on this tree. While the shape is cute and somewhat realistic the tree itself is very cheaply done. The main stump of the tree does not look like the natural look in the pictures, it’s wrapped with an ugly faux greenery. There is a copper silky thread wrapping the branches and most of the ends were already frayed on several branches right out of the box. This is going back. Definitely not worth the price. If it was $40 I might consider keeping it, but not for $99.
