I’m giving this four stars but I wondered if it should be a 3. Here’s why  if you’ve never put one of these together you need to know this one isn’t easy. In order to get it looking full you need to very carefully apply pressure and slightly bend the LIMBS!  Not just the l little branches, but the limbs that look like bark. If you aren’t comfortable with that, then you’re going to be disappointed with this one. 
Secondly, it wouldn’t stand up straight!  I’ve had plenty of faux trees, I’ve never had ones  that would keep falling over. I REALLY had to hold on to the top section and bend it over so this would stand up straight. I got this free if I had to pay for it, I wouldn’t!!
