Purchased an "open box" tree at a discounted price. Felt this was a bit of a gamble given that it would be a final sale and I had no idea what the reason for the original product return was. When the package arrived and I began to assemble the tree I noticed a few bent limbs and hinges where the limbs attach to the centre pole, resulting in branches that pointed downward instead of out. After carefully bending the branches back, the tree looked perfectly fine when assembled. The size is exactly what we needed and the lights are great. I like that there are actually 3 different colour schemes (warm white, coloured, and softer colours that almost look like pastel purple, yellow, etc.).
