The tree arrived exactly when it was supposed to within a few days from when it was ordered. This is my first artificial tree with lights. So I loved that it was very easy to set up. Im very picky about our tree as we usually have real trees. Even though it wasnt a real tree, it looked good. Once the lights were plugged in, it looked beautiful! I wish I wouldve ordered a taller tree. My husband put the tree on a table and that gave it the heighth I wanted. Overall Im pleased with my purchase.
