I have no idea how this tree got good reviews.  I bought 2 on clearance, so I couldn't return them.  Worst purchase I've ever made on here & by far the worst trees I've ever seen.  I'm not exaggerating.  The trunk has large cracks & globs of glue all over it.  I put them up anyway & tried to make them look better, but it's impossible.  & they aren't sturdy either.  My tiny chihuahua managed to knock it down a few times.  It really doesn't look like the picture & I'm going to have to dispose of it because I can't even give it away.
