I expected a nice full tree for the price I paid. It is not full. I spread out all the branches as much as I could and it still looks bad with a lot of holes. When I put the tree together, the bottom piece metal was bent and the middle part didn't fit properly. I had to take a hammer and bang out the dented part to make it fit. Do yourself a favor and avoid this tree. It could use more lights as well. Just a bad investment and if it wasn't such a burden to get it back in the box and take to the post office I would return it.
