The tree is actually not 3’ high. The ht. Includes the pot it is in.  It is like a little table tree. Taking the tree out of the box, we found the lights were wrapped like snarled hair all over the tree. They had to be completely removed from tree. The branches at the bottom were all twisted up together, like a necklace that has become entangled .  Definitely would not recommend. Way overpriced.
