Easily assembled and will be easy to disassemble for storage in the original box. I didn’t like seeing the framework through t the fabric, so I added a smaller tinsel tree underneath, which took care of that problem without interfering with the twinkle lights. I also added shiny and matte finish ornaments from the smaller tree, which gave an overall upscale look to this tree. I’m looking forward to seeing how it weathers over the next few years.
