The picture of this tree is quite misleading. I was expecting a full beautiful tree, as shown. But no. 1st of all, we noticed it came in a small box, so that tipped us off right away. Then when we opened it, it's this skinny scrawny tree, that is in no way like the picture presented. Even when we tried our best to fluff it, it looks sickly. I wanted a refund of course. But I was expected to pay $18 just to ship it back, so we're stuck with it. We will wait till the end of the season and get a more beautiful tree somewhere else.
