Upon opening it and setting it up, there were leaves that had already come off the branches. They appear to be attached in a cheap, glued manner. Not as great quality as I would have expected based on the price and other reviews. It also had a slightly strong odor after taking it out of the box. I'm having difficulty fluffing it out so the leaves aren't still facing upwards. I'm concerned about bending them too hard because I don't want more leaves to pop off.
