Very functional but kind of cheap. I spent $150 on this and am glad I didn't spend more. Assembly wasn't fun. Some of the holes don't line up and some of the screws don't fit like the instructions say they should. But you can make it work. Took me about 90 minutes to 2 hours to assemble (1 person). You will need a screwdriver or drill. Once made, the tree is extremely useful and well worth $150.
