I read all the good reviews and I launched myself expecting a fir equivalent to my previous I had bought in a large well known for 35EUR bazaar. The good surprise which probably justifies the price difference is that it is very easy to mount iron branches are attached to the trunk and followed suit after the 3 parts, it remains only to deploy branches. No need to introduce them one by one into the cavities of the trunk as in my old model. First the box is very thin and light (and handle incidentally), ca m friends flea in the ear right away. 3 screws of the base are too wide to pass the second hole so the trunk is not tight and the shaft therefore moves. In deployant branches gently yet a leg portion has remained in my hand. Visually the top of the tree is good, however the middle part and the lower part are somewhat correct. It is not enough provided it just a little to plug the holes. especially the lower branches should be more and / or more provided, the thorns start only away from the trunk. By branches as horizontal as possible we arrive at pretty much sth acceptable volume but beware of holes then. In short, the picture is not great it seems more accurate provided that the reality but it is faithful to the fact that we can see that the bottom of the tree is not top. We said we will compensate by covering decorative but again the branches are thin and flexible and suddenly I had a terrible time to hold my top star of tree not to mention all my rather heavy decos, it gets a headache. The positive point is that the branches do not sting. In short it is not expensive, not great but considering the price it is hard to complain. I was ready to put more (60-70EUR) for a thicker and beefier shaft but I have not found a good comment in this price range.
