My friend and I out it together in about an hour - having the posts marked and the screws described saved us a lot of time. The tree is solid and looks exactly as pictured. My original tree came days earlier than said and I was at work - so I sent a note through the Wayfair chat line and a new order was started and it came on the day and time it was scheduled to - the UPS chap brought it right up and into my condo and was very courteous and pleasant. I will be shopping at Wayfair more. Thank you.
