Tree had the expected look,  was easy to assemble and had a good amount of fullness once fluffed,  however one small section of lights didnt work. I think there is likely a short in the wire because replace all 15 or so bulbs in that strand didnt change anything. We didnt have the time or desire to deal with returning it for that issue so we just added a string of lights and turned that section to face the back. You cant tell there is an issue unless youre looking for it.  Still, it is definitely not desirable to have to tweak an item that you just bought brand new.
