Goes together easy, actual tree branches and needles are cheap PVC but it doesn't matter as the shape is good and the flocking hides them.

The flocking just falls off. We had it all over the floor and our clothes, vacuumed each other off then used scotch tape to clean off the rest. 

The "best' part are the lights. They include some spares, but include a warning that if a bulb goes out, it has to be done professionally, and "must take to closest service center."  I haven't checked yet to see if we're closer to Beijing or Shanghai ;-)  Point is, the lights go bad, you're out of luck. 

Overall the tree up and lit looks very nice. Your call if you want to risk a problem with the lights.
