There are a couple of branches missing. I could tell by the little stumps that were left. However this is not the main issue. This tree is very poorly made. When I opened the box, there were many leaves and a few branches that were detached from the tree. I was able to attach them back, however it took a while to figure out where they belonged. Now that the tree is standing alone in the corner, occasionally leaves would just fall from it. If any of my pets or family members walk by and touch it accidentally, leaves just fall. they are attached but do not sit snug causing them to easily come off.
