Very disappointing. I realize of course it's just a fake tree, but it was a quite expensive fake tree so I expected an element of quality. 
The top section arrived bent over (perhaps to fit in the box, but why not utilize a box that wouldn't cause this issue?) and is so loose it just about BARELY stands straight, just bobbles all over the place. I may employ a glue gun to the area to see if I can secure it at the joint where it meets the section below it, but for $100 it certainly should NOT have to be done. 
There are also a few obvious gaps in the foliage that will need to be camouflaged so that is another issue to deal with. Overall, not the best quality for the money spent.
