(More customer reviews)This tree is made in Asia. Having spent some time in that part of the world, my husband and I have a lot of funny stories about things we have in our home from the "land of not quite right". Here is our funny story about the tree.
We spent hours putting up the tree. It came in 3 parts, instead of the advertised 4, which means that the upper section is very heavy and difficult to lift into position. Once we hoisted it into place, we discovered that the two sections of the center pole do not fit. (Ha, ha!) We pulled it down and filed both parts of the pole. Several tries later, we were finally able to force the poles together. It is still not properly seated and fits so tightly that we dread having to pull it apart when it is time to disassemble the tree. Oh, boy, that will be a gas!
The huge bundle of wires has to be threaded down the center of the tree trunk and then all 35 plugs must be individually plugged into the power strip--funny,right? There is a remote control, but it is meant for a 2 prong plug and the power strip has 3 prongs. Hysterical!
I spent about 90 minutes fluffing the branches and trying to fill in the gap where the two pole sections are not seated properly. Finally, the tree wobbles. We weighted down the base with dumbells and intend to go buy sandbags. I thought of sending it back but then we would have to go through the whole process in reverse and we don't know if we can take that much more fun.
