When I received it it was damaged and i WISH i would have exchanged it!!! The bottom is foam inside the basket with the tree permanently in the foam. When I opened it the tree was pulled out and separate from the foam and basket :( I thought I could make it work buy just stucking it back in but now I am CONSTANTLY ADJUSTING it bc it will shift and lean!! The quality is fine and it is a nice touch in my dining room but again I WISH I would have exchanged!
