I love my Christmas moose. But the quality isn't as high as some have mentioned. You connect the pieces by pushing little metal wedges into slots. The wedges are not long or strong and one of the antlers wedges broke off due to the weight of the antler. We have it wired to the other antler and the body to keep it upright. The lights are wound thruout the moose which is nice but you can't detach the antler to make a sturdier connection. At night you can't see the anter wiring but during the daylight it's visible and ugly. The little wedge connections need to be longer and stronger  for the antlers weight.
