The finished tree is really adorable, but sadly we found there were too many flaws in the design. The base is not stable at all and kept falling apart as we tried to add each layer of the tree. Which was so frustrating! And then all the little ornaments would fall off when we'd try to fix it. Also, we could not get the last pole all the way down so the tree top kept falling off and had to be glued on. And the instructions sucked! Two adults were struggling to build this so I wouldn't recommend for children or anyone who doesn't have patients.
