It's a bit wobbly but otherwise nice.  The top piece doesn't quite fit properly, but it's no big deal.  I had to add a few hundred more lights for my taste but that's me, I like a lot of lights.  Store-bought tree-topper won't plug into the lights and work correctly, so if you're going to add lights, be prepared to plug something like that in separately. It's not nearly as narrow as I pictured it, but it actually works well for my space, so I'm glad of that.
