The quality of this tree was better than I expected based on the price. It is worth the time spent to really separate and arrange the branches to make the tree look it's fullest. It is pretty lightweight and the top portion tends to wobble a bit when the tree is touched or moved. The top portion won't fall out but it did make me nervous that a heavier or delicate ornament could easily fall off. The design would be greatly improved by the top portion fitting more snug into the middle portion.
