This tree is so bad!!!! It looks nothing like the photo. The branches are bare for the first 6 inches coming from the tree base. To make matters worse, the lights are strung around the tree from the middle of the branch to the next branch, instead of down each branch and back to the base. Very disappointed!! Cannot return because I missed the return date because it was a gift for Christmas. Now an embarrassment for me. Not to trust photos on this site again!!!!!!
