Love this little tree! For the price, it is exactly what I expected. A couple of the small branches had fallen off, and some bristles are bent, but it's not noticeable at all. The tree sets up nicely and is very full. Not sure what the purpose of the green plastic piece is (maybe a base?) -- it came broken, but the tree doesn't seem to need it to stand up correctly. All in all, great purchase for less than $30!
