This a beautiful tree but be prepared that the flocking is very messy.  It is easy to put together but you may have to drill out the base to anchor the pieces together. Once the tree is put together it is beautiful and the ornaments really pop.  In fact, you dont need any garland as the tree with pretty ornaments is stunning.  The only reason I gave it a four-star rating is that it is very messy putting it up and taking it down.
