Purchased  on sale after Christmas 2019. Tried without success to assemble per instructions not pulling on, stretching or pinching the wiring on the light strings when putting it up in 2020. Unfortunately after many hours of trying I could not assemble it without doing so. Decided to assemble the sleigh as best I could which stretched one portion of the lights beyond safety to use. I cut off all the lights , left it outside and it is quite pretty unlit. Being it was on sale I am happy with the purchase and next year I will use it with either a spotlight or attempt to add string lights. It can be used without the lights, but at night it would look better lit. I left it assembled to store in the basement as one of the anchors on the frame was missing and had to use a zip tie to keep it together.  For the price I paid for it I am happy with the purchase, if I had paid more I would have returned it.
