I really like the look of this tree but I have some issues with the one I was sent. First, there’s a 12” crack on the bottom piece of wood that had been glued together. Second, the top half was impossible to fit flush onto the bottom half leaving a half inch gap between the two pieces. Neither issue seemed to be worth the hassle of returning it. Another odd thing was the first 2-3 days after assembling, the tree made sporadic popping noises, and we couldn’t figure out whether it was the crack getting bigger or the top half settling in (since we had to use so much force to connect it). Anyway, 3 stars because the price was nice and I like the look but there are some issues.
