The tree smells really after chemicals which is why I now only once the 5 days place on my balcony for "transpiring" before he comes into the apartment.
Washing as other buyers reports is certainly not necessary !!!
One can see traces of the hot melt adhesive with which the branches were attached, but this can be removed with a Tepichmesser.
Initially, the tree looks pretty bleak, but after the branches are bent into shape, he is right Bushy :-)
A super choice for a sensational low price which I do not regret !!!
